Final state interactions: from strangeness to beauty

Abstract

I give a brief review of final state interactions in meson decays. I describe possible effects of FSI in K, D and B systems, paying particular attention to the description of the heavy meson decays. Available theoretical methods for dealing with the effects of FSI are discussed.
