BRIDGE 2026 – Building Relationships to Innovate and Develop Global Expertise in Cardiovascular Medicine – Second Edition was conceived as a dynamic forum designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, clinical innovation, and the advancement of personalized cardiovascular care. As the global burden of cardiovascular disease continues to rise, there is a pressing need to move beyond traditional paradigms and integrate novel diagnostic, therapeutic, and organizational strategies into everyday practice. Now in its second edition, BRIDGE 2026 builds on the success of its inaugural meeting by addressing four major pillars of cardiovascular disease, cardiac and vascular surgery, through a comprehensive and highly interactive format that includes case-based discussions, cutting-edge lectures, and multidisciplinary panels. The active participation of residents and young clinicians in presenting complex clinical cases reflects the program's strong commitment to mentorship, education, and the continuous renewal of medical expertise. At the core of BRIDGE 2026 lies the principle of value-based healthcare, which prioritizes outcomes that matter most to patients, balanced with the resources required to achieve them. In cardiovascular medicine, this translates to delivering care that improves survival, function, and quality of life, while ensuring sustainability, efficiency, and equity across healthcare systems. Value is created not only through innovative diagnostics and therapies, but also through coordinated, patient-centered pathways that enhance continuity and integration of care. A central focus of this year's edition is the promotion of transversal management, emphasizing the need for seamless integration across specialties, disciplines, and care settings. Cardiovascular patients often present with complex, multi-system conditions requiring a unified clinical vision and synchronized therapeutic strategies. By exploring real-world approaches such as hybrid revascularization, emerging biomarkers, novel risk stratification methods, and cutting-edge pharmacological innovations, the agenda highlights how teamwork and multidimensional care planning can translate into improved patient outcomes. BRIDGE 2026 is more than a scientific event: it is a shared space to bridge the gaps—between acute and chronic care, between disciplines, and between research and clinical practice—reimagining cardiovascular medicine through the lens of value, integration, and human-centered innovation.
