Selected Abstracts of the 8th Libyan Cardiac Society Congress, July 1 to 3, 2022, Tripoli, Libya

Abstract

The eighth Annual Scientific Meeting of the Libyan Cardiac Society Congress was held between July 1st and 3rd, 2022, in Rixos Convention Center in Tripoli, Libya. Abstracts were received in three categories: clinical vignette, research, and quality improvement. All abstracts underwent a peer-review process by the scientific committee and independent reviewers. A grading system was used based on the abstract's quality, novelty, and clinical significance. Here, we present both the oral and poster abstracts as submitted by the authors after minimal restyling to suit publications purposes. Most abstracts were clinical vignettes from Libya, Tunisia, Turkey, and the United States of America. They are published here for rapid communication and to benefit those who could not attend the congress physically.The eighth Annual Scientific Meeting of the Libyan Cardiac Society, known as the eighth LCS Congress, was held between July 1 st to 3 rd , 2022, in Rixos Convention Center in Tripoli, Libya. Fifty-four abstracts were received in three categories: clinical vignette, research, and quality improvement. Most abstracts were clinical vignettes from Libya, Tunisia, Turkey, and the United States of America. All abstracts underwent a peerreview process by the scientific committee and independent reviewers. A grading system was used based on the abstract's quality, novelty, and clinical significance. Each abstract was evaluated and scored by two reviewers. Out of 54 abstracts, 40 were accepted, and one was retracted by the author prior to the meeting. The main reasons for rejections were as follows: poor quality, unrelated to cardiology, and duplicate publication.Here, we present both the oral (OA) and poster abstracts (PA) of the eighth LCS Congress as submitted by the authors.The first five abstracts (PA 1-5) are the winners of young investigator awards for best posters during the eighth LCS Congress poster competition. If not published yet, we invite all authors to submit a full manuscript of their abstracts to the journal for a peer-review process.
