February 29, 2024 — The American College of Cardiology (ACC) will soon be holding its ACC 73rd Annual Scientific Session & Expo, ACC.24 from April 6 - 8, 2024 in Atlanta, GA at the Georgia World Congress Center. This year’s theme, “Advancing Cardiovascular Care for All” brings the latest practice-changing breakthroughs, along with top experts debating and discussing outcomes of highly anticipated clinical trials. According to ACC, five Late-Breaking Clinical Trial sessions, two LBCT Deep Dive sessions, three Featured Clinical Research sessions, and the Clinical and an Investigative Horizons session will be presented throughout the Scientific Sessions this year.

In addition, the ACC notes that 2024 marks the 40th Anniversary of American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines. According to the program schedule, ACC members in attendance will be able to learn how to implement, optimize, and translate guidelines into your clinical practice from key members of the guideline committees and experienced colleagues. The Guidelines Sessions at ACC.24 will focus on the following three current guideline updates:
