Association for European Cardiovascular Pathology (AECVP)

Padova, Veneto, Italy

The Association for European Cardiovascular Pathology (AECVP) has evolved from the European School for Cardiovascular Pathology, founded in 1994 by Drs. RH Anderson (London, UK), AE Becker (Amsterdam, NL), MJ Davies (London UK), PJ Gallagher (Southampton, UK), CJ Kirkpatrick (Mainz, GE) and G Thiene (Padua, IT) because of growing concern with the wane of interest among pathologists in general for cardiovascular diseases. The inaugural meeting of the “School” was held in Amsterdam in 1995 and ever since annual school meetings were held in the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam up till 2001 when the attendees approved of the foundation of the AECVP. At that time the constitution and bylaws were formally accepted and the board and council members, as well as the standing committees, inaugurated.

The AECVP brings together those in Europe actively involved in cardiovascular pathology and provides a platform to serve as a liaison between pathologists, cardiologists and surgeons as well as basic researchers in the field of cardiovascular diseases.
