Researchers from the Cardiovascular Institute at Rhode Island, The Miriam and Newport hospitals will present 22 abstracts, both poster and oral presentations, at the upcoming American Heart Association Scientific Sessions, to be held in Dallas November 16-20, 2013. Scientific Sessions is the foremost cardiovascular research meeting in the U.S., with more than 18,000 cardiovascular experts from more than 105 countries in attendance.
"The Scientific Sessions is the leading conference for those in the field of cardiology, cardiac surgery and cardiovascular research," said Samuel Dudley, M.D., chief of cardiology at the Cardiovascular Institute (CVI). "Thousands of our peers will be in attendance to learn about and discuss the latest discoveries and developments in cardiovascular research. The acceptance of such a large number of abstracts from our organization demonstrates the caliber of research being conducted here every day."
The following abstracts from the Cardiovascular Institute at Rhode Island, The Miriam and Newport hospitals, among others, will be presented (bold names indicate CVI researchers):
