Ladies and Gentlemen!

Following the announcement in 2022 of the latest guidelines for the management of pulmonary hypertension by the European Society of Cardiology and the European Respiratory Society, we are pleased to announce that the 2nd Expert Meeting Pulmonary Hypertension in Children (PHC), with the participation of experts from Poland and abroad, will take place on March 25, 2023, in a hybrid form in Gdańsk.

We kindly remind this event aims at continuing the work initiated in 2019, the first conference “Pulmonary Hypertension in children (PHC)” took place in Gdańsk when altough the original intention was to launching a series of conferences held under the auspices of the Pulmonary Circulation Section of the Polish Cardiac Society, this was unfortunately not possible due to the epidemiological situation related to COVID-19.
