JAPANESE EDUCATIONAL CLINICAL CARDIOLOGY SOCIETY

On JECCS

In 1985, JECCS (Japanese Educational Clinical Cardiology Society ) was established. The Society consists of physicians, nurses, paramedics, medical students, the public, and those who are interested in learning about cardiovascular diseases and other related diseases. JECCS has been providing latest information regarding diagnosis and therapy of these diseases to physicians, nurses and paramedics, and also has been providing primary education about these diseases and giving information of preventive methods to the public.

We aim to provide more medical informations and educational materials through the Internet.
