Dear Scholars and Physicians：

The 19th Great Wall International Congress of Cardiology has just finished and it has been a great success. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we would like to express our gratitude for your participation as one of the faculty members during this meeting. Without your participation and your wonderful lectures, we would have never been able to achieve such a great success.

In this year, we continually gained great supports from all over the world. Around 8000 people, including about 300 foreign friends, have attended over 30 forums with difference themes and 150 sessions in the congress. This four-day’s wonderful academic program has provided the participants a platform and opportunities to communicate, to exchange ideas, and to make friends with each other. As we can remember, lots of conference rooms were still packed in the last minute of the congress. Thanks to your participation, your assistance, and your dedication, GW-ICC has been developing quickly, and has grown into an international congress that warmly welcomed by people from all over the world.

We understand you traveled a long way to participate. We appreciate very much your strenuous efforts. We hope you have enjoyed your stay in Beijing and have a great trip to go back home. We are sorry for any inconveniences you may have experienced and please accept our apologies for this. We are happy and pleased to hear from you any suggestions or comments for future symposiums, which will surely promise us a better conference in the year 2009.

The20th Great Wall International Congress of Cardiology will be held in Beijing on 10rd -13th, Oct. 2009. We hope you can put this on your busy schedule and mark it in your next year’s calendar.

Look forward to seeing you in Beijing next year!
