The father of IABP, Greek cardiologist Spyridon Moulopoulos passed away at age 98 today. His work at the Cleveland Clinic in the early 60s saved millions of patients in the ensuing decades. He also established the first heart failure clinic in his native Greece in the 80s.

Brilliant week at IVCC 2025. Lots of hard work by many Imperial Cardiology superstars to put this on. Live cases (30+!), quality debates and exciting research on display.
