Prevention and Intervention 2026 – Central European Summit

The Prevention & Intervention 2026 – Central European Summit, held in Warsaw, Poland, from 8 to 10 October 2026, brings together international experts, clinicians, nurses, and researchers to advance cardiovascular prevention, interventional cardiology, and multidisciplinary collaboration. This supplement collects the scientific abstracts selected for presentation at the Summit.

The contributions address coronary interventions, structural heart disease, hypertension, cardiovascular risk assessment, lipid management, heart failure, women's cardiovascular health, and cardiac rehabilitation. Through original research, clinical case reports, and scientific reviews, the Summit promotes evidence-based practice, international scientific exchange, and the integration of preventive and interventional strategies, contributing to improved cardiovascular care and patient outcomes.

Our Mission: Preserving and Disseminating Scientific Contributions

The International Journal of Health Supplements (IJHS) is a scholarly journal that serves as a dedicated platform for the publication of conference proceedings, thematic supplements, and abstract collections in medicine and healthcare. The Journal’s mission is to ensure that scientific outputs presented at conferences, symposia, and professional meetings are permanently preserved, globally accessible, and appropriately integrated into the scholarly record. By providing a standardized, citable, and openly accessible format, IJHS enhances the visibility, usability, and long-term value of scientific contributions, supporting researchers, clinicians, and scientific societies worldwide.

Positioned at the intersection of scientific events and academic publishing, IJHS addresses the challenge of congress outputs that are often underutilized or insufficiently documented. By publishing proceedings, thematic collections, and consensus-oriented materials developed within scientific initiatives, the Journal transforms time-limited conference presentations into enduring scholarly resources that contribute to healthcare knowledge and practice. IJHS aims to foster collaboration across disciplines and communities, ensuring that scientific progress is preserved and shared for future generations.

A Commitment to Integrity and Editorial Excellence

IJHS upholds high standards of editorial quality and ethical publishing. Through structured editorial review, scientific oversight, and collaboration with guest editors and scientific committees, the Journal ensures that published materials are accurate, transparent, and relevant within their declared scientific context. IJHS is committed to providing a credible and responsible publication venue in which congress outputs and supplements are recognized as integral components of scholarly communication and the advancement of medicine and healthcare.

Empowering the Scientific Community

IJHS serves a diverse international community of researchers, clinicians, educators, policymakers, and scientific societies united by a shared commitment to advancing healthcare knowledge. By publishing proceedings and supplements in a DOI-assigned and digitally preserved format, the Journal enhances the discoverability, citability, and long-term accessibility of scientific work. IJHS promotes transparency, interdisciplinary exchange, and collaboration, ensuring that valuable scientific outputs reach a broad audience and support meaningful scientific dialogue.

Preserving the Scholarly Record of Scientific Meetings

As the pace of scientific discovery accelerates, conferences and professional meetings remain central to the initial dissemination of new knowledge. Yet much of this knowledge risks being lost or inadequately archived. IJHS addresses this challenge by offering scientific societies and congress organizers a trusted platform to preserve, contextualize, and disseminate their work. The Journal invites researchers, professional associations, and healthcare institutions to collaborate in this mission—transforming congress contributions into lasting scholarly resources that inform, inspire, and advance global health.
