Journal of Rare Cardiovascular Diseases

Nowadays, with a constant accumulation of data and knowledge, specialized and dedicated to particular problems meetings are thriving. The Working Group (WG) of the Myocardial and Peri‑ cardial Diseases of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) meeting is a perfect example. Although not the largest or the rich‑ est, our WG is officially recognized as a source of high‑quality data, positions statements, and recommendations that have far reaching impact. This year, the annual meeting was organized for the third time in the magical city of Florence, Italy. Despite the fact that several centuries have passed, the names and works of Leonardo da Vinci or Michelangelo are still living in every corner of this city‑museum.
