Here is the list of American College of Cardiology (ACC) practice-changing late-breaking study presentations at the ACC.20 annual meeting March 28-30, 2020. The meeting was supposed to take place in Chicago, but due to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, the in-person event was cancelled and the ACC organized a scaled back virtual conference within 3 weeks. The virtual presentations include five late-breaking clinical trial (LBCT) sessions and three featured clinical research sessions.
