The committee has achieved significant results in establishing academic platforms, promoting clinical technologies, and building talent development pipelines. Looking ahead, Vice President Ai He hopes the committee will continue to uphold innovative development principles, achieve new breakthroughs in scientific research, technology promotion, and talent cultivation, and looks forward to experts attending the conference fully utilizing this platform to exchange cutting-edge research findings and share valuable clinical experiences, collectively contributing wisdom and strength to enhance diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities in China's cardiac function field. Finally, President Ai wished the conference a complete success!
Vice President Yang Xiao first extended the warmest welcome and sincere gratitude on behalf of Chengdu Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine to all experts and colleagues attending the conference, while congratulating the event's successful convening. He then introduced that the hospital's Cardiology Department is recognized as a National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine Key Specialty, a Sichuan Provincial Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine Integrated TCM-Western Medicine Key Specialty, and a Chengdu Medical Key Discipline. Established in 1985, the Heart Function Department features two pioneering laboratories: the Cardiovascular Laboratory (National TCM Research Laboratory), Chengdu Ultrasound Quality Control Center, and the Electrocardiogram Diagnosis Laboratory (Chengdu Key Laboratory), making it one of only two such specialized facilities in Chengdu. The department has pioneered advanced cardiac technologies including non-invasive imaging, electrophysiology, and surgical ultrasound support, while providing remote electrocardiogram consultations for regional medical institutions. It has also hosted multiple research visits from the National Health Commission, provincial/municipal health authorities, and peer institutions, earning widespread acclaim. Finally, President Yang expressed his hope that the conference would drive academic progress, enhance cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment capabilities, and safeguard public health. He wished the event a complete success!
Chairperson Chen Xinyun first expressed heartfelt gratitude to all attending experts, participants, relevant organizations, and staff for their support of this conference. She then emphasized that against the backdrop of the still severe challenges in cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment, this meeting has provided a vital academic exchange platform and practical guidance to enhance China's cardiovascular health management capabilities. Finally, she sincerely hoped the conference would become a pivotal academic hub—not only facilitating the exchange and mutual learning of cutting-edge research findings, but also serving as a new starting point for translating scientific achievements into clinical practice. Together, we should implement the new technologies, advancements, theories, and knowledge discussed at the conference into clinical work to ultimately benefit patients nationwide.
