A quote from Professor Thomas Lüscher given during the House of Cardiology Roundtable at RISE @ ESC Congress 2025: "We have to stand up all together for science, for reasoning, for evidence, rather than fake news that we see everywhere these days. And I think it's very, very important that we all stand together and say, only data, only facts count."
At RISE @ ESC Congress 2025, Professor Thomas Luscher reminded us of our shared duty to uphold truth and evidence-based science.
In an age of misinformation, standing for data and facts protects trust, patient care, and progress.

A quote from Dr. Carol Pitcher-Towner during the Industry Panel at RISE @ ESC Congress 2025: We need women at the table because you offer a different perspective that I need to hear. We are not doing this because I want to meet some DE&I target. I'm doing it because it's absolutely essential if we want to change the face of medicine today.
At RISE @ ESC Congress 2025, Dr. Carol Pitcher-Towner reminded us that equity in medicine isn't about quotas; it's about ensuring women's voices shape leadership, innovation & progress.

A quote from Borjana Pervan, World Heart Federation’s Chief Operating Officer, from RISE @ ESC Congress 2025. "We are here today because we want to make sure that 4 billion people, that's about half of us on this planet, have access to the rooms, to the tables, to the buildings, to the hospitals, to the innovation and research centers that they need to enter to be able to improve healthcare."
![A quote from Borjana Pervan, World Heart Federation’s Chief Operating Officer, from RISE @ ESC Congress 2025. "The idea was that they [Dr Roxana Mehran and Prof. Marie-Claude Morice] opened the door for all of you here, from the inside. It is our responsibility to keep that door open. And I would add, even if we have to break down some walls, we have to do it - digitally, physically, whatever it takes."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:njigzo62iw5vv2fjdtwtin75/bafkreifbfq2ne7hjpwpfex7b6rpj57lnd6wlynfojzfpylp4qxapucjeam)

A quote from RISE 2025 Program Director Dr. Liesl Zühlke, Paediatric Cardiologist, Red Cross Children’s Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa: "We don't want to always moan about the fact that 40% is not good enough. We know that. We still have to fix that. But what we need to do is move forward in terms of opportunities, of ways of building the rungs in the ladder, of cracking even more ceilings, and making sure that we don't allow for people to be left behind."
RISE @ ESC Congress 2025 Program Director Dr. Liesl Zuhlke inspires us to continue to crack even more ceilings together! #MondayMotivation
