<title>Dear Colleagues,</title>
<p>It is with great pleasure that we announce the 10th Anniversary Meeting of the Working Group on Invasive and Interventional Cardiology of the Croatian Association of Cardiology Nurses, which will be held as part of the 11th Congress of Invasive and Interventional Cardiology with International Participation &#x2013; CROINTERVENT 2025. This important professional event will take place from March 6 to March 9, 2025, at the Westin Hotel in Zagreb.</p>
<p>CROINTERVENT 2025 provides a unique opportunity to acquire the latest insights, exchange experiences, and explore innovations that shape modern invasive and interventional cardiology. Special emphasis is placed on the development of the nursing profession, recognizing the essential role of nurses in the multidisciplinary team. The 10th Anniversary Meeting of the Working Group will focus on specialized knowledge and competencies in interventional cardiology nursing, including training for work in invasive laboratories, optimization of nursing care during and after TAVI procedures, standardization of clinical protocols, and improving patient quality of life after interventional procedures. Through lectures, interactive workshops, and live video transmissions of complex invasive procedures, participants will have the opportunity to learn about the latest techniques and protocols and gain valuable practical skills.</p>
<p>The congress content is tailored not only for nurses directly involved in invasive procedures but also for all healthcare professionals providing continuous care to patients before, during, and after interventions. Experts from Croatia and around the world will share their knowledge and experiences, enabling participants to apply newly-acquired insights in daily clinical practice.</p>
<p>We invite all nurses, technicians, and other healthcare professionals in the field of cardiology to join us in celebrating this important anniversary. Participating in the congress will provide new perspectives, valuable knowledge, and inspiration to enhance professional practice.</p>
<p>We look forward to your presence and our collective contribution to the advancement of cardiology care!</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
