The second award was presented to HEART (Heart Embryology and Anatomy Research Team), consisting of Jakub Hołda, Kamil Tyrak, and Katarzyna Piątek, for their seven-part publication entitled Morfologia and morfometria ludzkich przedsionków – anatomiczne podłoże dla zabiegów kardiologii inwazyjnej i elektrokardiologii [Human atrium morphology and morphometry – anatomical grounds for invasive cardiology and electrocardiology].
The award ceremony will take place on 14 December 2017 at 11.00 a.m. in the Mirror Room of Staszic Palace in Warsaw.
