The BCVS Scientific Sessions is an annual event dedicated to advancing heart health through fundamental and translation research. Sponsored by the American Heart Association Basic Cardiovascular Sciences Council, the world's leading organization of cardiovascular scientists, the conference attracts leading researchers in fields such as microRNAs, cardiac gene and cell therapy, cardiac development, tissue engineering and iPS cells.

This event provides an invaluable platform for intra- and interdisciplinary cross-fertilization of ideas and incorporation of new approaches within the cardiovascular scientific community. It also plays a pivotal role in training young researchers, women and Underrepresented Racial and Ethnic Groups faculty, and cardiovascular fellows.

The BCVS Scientific Sessions will be held at an as-yet-undetermined location in the United States. With the pandemic making heart health more critical than ever, this event is an opportunity to make a real difference in the fight against heart disease.
