Basic Cardiovascular Sciences (BCVS) 2013 Scientific Sessions

The primary sponsor of this premier research conference is the American Heart Association Scientific Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences, the world’s leading organization of cardiovascular scientists. The BCVS 2013 Conference “Pathways to Cardiovascular Therapeutics” is the premier translational venue where the latest advances in basic science are presented with relevance to heart disease. Attendees can expect to hear state-of-the-art presentations on mechanisms of heart failure and arrhythmias, insight into cardiac metabolism and energy balance, cardiac regeneration, genetic diversity, and vascular inflammation from an international panel of experts.


The program will be of special interest to basic cardiovascular scientists, molecular/ cellular biologists, physiologists, translational investigators, clinical trialists, practicing cardiologists, cardiovascular nurses and pharmacists. In addition, the symposium will be of great value to scientists and executives of pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology firms who are in the cardiovascular space.
