American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2007 Final Program - (Page 7) Dear Colleagues: It is my pleasure to welcome you to Scientific Sessions 2007. The American Heart Association’s annual meeting offers a unique opportunity to gather with colleagues from around the world in an exciting educational and professional environment. The scope and quality of the scientific exchange make Scientific Sessions the premier cardiovascular research and instructional meeting in the world. The American Heart Association scientific councils’ program committees and the Committee on Scientific Sessions Program have again carefully selected a broad base of content at the forefront of research and clinical practice, including more than 4,000 abstracts of original research and a variety of invited programs. The extensive scientific program will be arranged in the three broad areas of clinical, basic and population science. In response to the ever increasing integration of research and patient care, Scientific Sessions 2007 includes and highlights cross-disciplinary Translational Science. Scientific Sessions includes programs of special interest to interventional cardiologists, electrophysiologists and nurses. We’ve added Daytime Seminars with cutting-edge clinical content to the program. An International Congress on Stem Cells and Myocardial Regeneration will run concurrently with Scientific Sessions and will feature the most internationally renowned investigators in the field. The oral and poster presentations have been organized into clusters reflecting specialty areas of interest. Enhancements in the presentation of original science include expanded moderated poster sessions and the online availability of all poster presentations. A major goal of Scientific Sessions remains — the cross-disciplinary commitment to cardiovascular care that is a core strength and mission of the American Heart Association. We’ve made numerous logistical changes to Scientific Sessions 2007, including moving all How-to and Ask-the-Expert sessions to the morning to allow for an expanded mid-day break for visiting posters and the exhibit hall. We will continue enhancements such as encore theaters, simulcast presentations (including press conferences of the Late-Breaking Clinical Trials) and networking lounges. For a full listing of enhancements, see the back of the map, page 13. Scientific Sessions continues to evolve and improve with the input from our attendees — making an already great meeting even more spectacular. We thank you for your input in the past and we hope you have the opportunity to experience the enhancements to our meeting.
