He is Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon, Professor of Cardiology and Head of the Cardiovascular Department. He was President and founder of the European Association of Echocardiography (2003-2004) and President of the ESC (2014-2016). He is President Elect of WHF, FESC, FACC, FASA, FSCAI, FASE and Honorary Member of several international societies. He was Editor in Chief of the Portuguese Journal of Cardiology (1999-2015), and Member of the Editorial Board of several international journals. He published over 600 indexed articles and has presented over 1500 lectures/chairmanships at national and international meetings. His main areas of interest are cardiovascular imaging among others. Bogdan A. Popescu is Professor of Cardiology at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy "Carol Davila" in Bucharest, Romania. He is head of the Third Cardiology Department and director of the echocardiography laboratory at the Institute of Cardiovascular Disease "Prof. C. C. Iliescu" in Bucharest. He published more than 180 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals and more than 25 book chapters and books in cardiology and cardiac imaging. His main fields of research interest are on myocardial function/heart failure, valvular heart disease and cardiomyopathies. Professor Sechtem is the Project Coordinator for Research, Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Robert-Bosch-Krankenhaus Stuttgart and also the Associate Professor of Medicine and Cardiology at the University of Tübingen
