Dear colleagues and friends,

Here is the latest issue of our prestigious journal, RACI, the scientific pride and joy of CACI.

The growth of RACI is the result of the effort from our entire editorial committee and each one of you who contributes to the journal valuable material for publication.

We are going through challenging times in our country where medical practice is constantly being challenged. Providing high-quality medicine, for which we are trained, is not easy in many corners of our country. We encounter numerous difficulties from financial issues to the constant struggle of getting our procedures authorized. Also, we have to deal with decisions made by health care providers and social works that often override the health professional’s recommendation on what type of device should be used, making us have to decide between respecting our indication and leaving a patient without the proper treatment or losing the patient altogether.

This reality has strengthened our association, transforming it into a professional medical society to defend all our rights. To this end, we have been organizing labor workshops to propose alternative courses of action that will undoubtedly take time. However, it is the only way to start a new way that will eventually lead us to that objective. Participation from all our members is crucial because only consensus and acceptance can guarantee that the necessary changes will be implemented.

Next September 16th we will be celebrating the “International Day of Interventional Cardiology,” which reaffirms the commitment of all interventional cardiologists with public health and excellence in clinical practice. We have the obligation to continue maintaining the highest quality standards as the history of our specialty requires. That is why the college continues to organize scientific activities throughout the year to facilitate and maintain the process of continuous education required by our medical specialty.

I wish to take this opportunity to invite you all to our 32nd National CACI Congress 2023 that will be held next Nov. 24th-26th 2023 at the Hilton Pilar Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Best regards.

Martín Cisneros
President of CACI
