ACC 2020 Late-breaking Presentations

The American College of Cardiology (ACC) released a list of the latest practice-changing presentations at the ACC.20 annual meeting March 28-30, 2020, in Chicago. This includes five late-breaking clinical trial (LBCT) sessions and three featured clinical research sessions. There also are two LBCT deep-dive sessions where the experts will break down the hottest trials and attendees can find out what the impact might be on the practice of cardiology and patients.

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.
