For the past 100 years, the American Heart Association (AHA) has advocated for the growth of cardiovascular science. The annual AHA Scientific Sessions event brings together thousands of international colleagues to share the latest cardiovascular research and clinical practice advancements.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the sessions, which will also be its first-ever hybrid event. On November 5—7, 2022, over 15,000 delegates will converge either in person in Chicago, IL, or virtually to review topics such as the latest heart failure guidelines, profiles in cardiovascular diseases, structural heart interventions, and more.

Brigham and Women’s Hospital will have a strong presence at this year’s event, with many experts from the Heart and Vascular Center set to present their research and evidence-driven clinical recommendations. The Brigham is proud to present alongside other cardiovascular experts from across the globe.
