Science and Research

Research is integral to the future of patient care. That's why it's an essential part of the HFSA ASM!

Research to Look Forward To

Late Breaking Clinical Research

Late Breaking Clinical Research showcases novel results of trials and research. This is where you’ll hear news about key research for the first time. Late breaking abstracts will be presented in several ways, including on the plenary stage, in rapid fire sessions and in Oral Abstract sessions. 

ePoster Hub

HFSA utilizes ePosters, which are digital presentations of a poster. Attendees will be able to view ePosters in the ePoster Hub in the Exhibit Hall during the Annual Scientific Meeting, regardless of day and time of presentations. Presenters will also receive a designated time to share their science with attendees at their monitor during Poster Presentations.

TWO Oral Abstract Stages

NEW THIS YEAR: Double the research opportunities with two Oral Abstract Stages! Visit the Oral Abstract Stages inside the Exhibit Hall during Oral Abstract Presentation Sessions to hear from researchers in fast-paced oral presentations, with audience Q&A guided by moderators. During each Oral Abstract session, a team of moderators will lead the audience through 5-6 selected presentations. Each oral abstract presentation slot will last ten minutes. Each presenter will have approximately 7 minutes to present highlights of his or her work, followed by 3 minutes of Q&A from the moderators and attendees. 

HFSA Research Hub

 Research Hub brings together leading experts from the heart failure (HF) research community to share their insights on recent advancements and discuss ongoing challenges. Located in the exhibit hall, the Research Hub will feature discussions on Precision Diagnosis in Heart Failure, Navigating Clinical Research in Non-Academic Institutions, and more!

Connect with the JCF Family of Journals

The JCF Family of Journals is offering dynamic opportunities for you to connect, learn, and engage at this year's ASM. From in-depth conversations at JCF Central to JCF in Person - Spotlight ECT sessions with rising leaders in heart failure cardiology, there's something for everyone. Plus, don't miss the chance to Meet the Editors of JCF-Intersections. Be sure to catch the entire team at the JCF Family of Journals Reception, which is open to all!

INVESTIGATOR AWARDS

HFSA offers two investigator award competitions at its annual meeting that feature abstracts representative of research excellence in young trainees and investigators. JNC finalists will present their work orally in scientific sessions during the meeting, and a winner and runner up winner are announced live during a session on the final day. The two nursing winners will present their work during a special session at the Annual Meeting.

2nd Annual Case Competition

The second annual Case Competition session will take place on Friday, September 26 and will feature oral presentations of unique and challenging cases.
