The Einstein's frog

Abstract

reminded me the metaphor attributed to Einstein: "'If you put a frog in a pot with water and the temperature is increasing slowly, the frog does not notice, it will get used and will die. But if you put the frog into a pan of hot water, he immediately realizes the shock and bounce off". I believe that we, cardiovascular surgeons, we were in the first pot, wake up and gradually started to jump out when we felt the heat of the second pot. After moment of introspection, I came upon a latent need to write what follows. All domestic and foreign speakers, without exception, made exciting presentations. I take the liberty to make mention of some of these notables, as well as to present my opinion on the matters contained in the official program.
