José Luis Zamorano is Professor of Medicine at the University Complutense in Madrid and Director of the Cardiovascular Institute at the University Clinic San Carlos, Madrid. His key research interests include ischaemic heart disease, cardiovascular risk factors and imaging modalities. He serves on numerous Editorial Boards, including the European Journal of Echocardiography, the American Society of Echocardiography and the European Heart Journal. He has authored over 200 articles for peer-reviewed journals.

Professor Bax is Director of Non-invasive Imaging and Director of the Echo Laboratory in the Department of Cardiology at Leiden University Medical Centre, The Netherlands. He is also Past-President of the European Society of Cardiology.

Professor Knuuti is Director of Cardiology at University of Turku and Turku University Hospital, Turku, Finland. Professor Knuuti's main research field is noninvasive imaging especially using PET, SPECT, echocardiography, MRI and CT. The main research focus has been on cardiovascular diseases especially coronary artery disease and heart failure. In these conditions, the focus has been in understanding the physiology and pathophysiology of these diseases as well in developing new tests for diagnosis and therapy guidance. He has 823 publications, of which 553 are original articles and reviews.

Professor Patrizio Lancellotti is Head of the Intensive Care Cardiology unit at the University of Liège Hospital Center and Professor of Clinical Medicine at the University of Liège. His research has led to significant progress in the care of patients suffering from functional mitral insufficiency.

Professor Pinto received MD and PhD from Lisbon School of Medicine, University of Lisbon, Portugal and completed fellowships at Santa Maria University Hospital (Lisbon, Portugal), and Stanford University Medical School (CA, USA), where he was Clinical Attending in the Echo lab. He is Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of
