Abstract
The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has severely impacted our personal and professional lives and has had a huge impact on research. The annual face-to-face EuroHeartCare (EHC) was postponed in 2021 and took place virtually.

Two particular sessions: ‘Optimisation of outcomes in cardiovascular populations’ covering three conditions—PoTS, PAH, and care of cardiovascular conditions in the presence of cancer and a session on ‘Multidisciplinary approaches to detecting and perfecting care in atrial fibrillation’ highlighted the critical role of the advanced practitioner and the importance of ensuring a multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach in managing chronic cardiovascular disease conditions.
