Science and Research

Research is integral to the future of patient care. That's why it's an essential part of the HFSA ASM!

Research to Look Forward To

Late Breaking Clinical Research

Late Breaking Clinical Research showcases novel results of trials and research. This is where you’ll hear news about key research for the first time. Late breaking abstracts will be presented in several ways, including on the plenary stage, in rapid fire sessions and in Oral Abstract sessions. 

ePoster Hub

HFSA utilizes ePosters, which are digital presentations of a poster. Attendees will be able to view ePosters in the ePoster Hub in the Exhibit Hall during the Annual Scientific Meeting, regardless of day and time of presentations. Presenters will also receive a designated time to share their science with attendees at their monitor during Poster Presentations.

ORAL Abstracts SESSIONS

Visit the Oral Abstract Stage inside the Exhibit Hall during Oral Abstract Sessions to hear from researchers in fast-paced oral presentations, with audience Q&A guided by moderators and editors from the Journal of Cardiac Failure.

HFSA Research Hub

The Research Hub chats will feature thought leaders from across the HF research community, who will share their insights on the latest advances in HF research and discuss the challenges that still lie ahead. Located in the exhibit hall, the Research Hub will feature discussions on the Future of Cardiomyopathy from Genetics to Emerging Treatments, early phase clinical trials, digital Twins, AI and Engineering: The Future of Cardiology, and more! Search for "Research Hub" in the Schedule at a Glance for session titles and times. 

JCF Lecture Series

JCF Central is back! The place for all things JCF, JCF Central will be offering four TED- talk like 20-minute lectures and then time for interaction with the audience.
