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 76th anniversary of the sessions. On November 11—13, 2023, thousands of delegates will converge in person in Philadelphia, PA, or virtually to review topics such as the latest heart failure guidelines, strategies to promote equitable healthcare, profiles in cardiovascular diseases, 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.
