THE EVENT: The time is right to discover and translate new blood-based biomarkers that enable early detection of pathology to reduce mortality and morbidity in CVD. There is also opportunity to uncover novel pathology, and new interactions of diet, environment, microbiome, exercise, and drug targets in pathogenesis of CVD.
You are invited to the Symposium, which will be an opportunity to bring researchers in this space together, identify unmet needs and build collaborative teams to tackle key gaps in Heart Failure and Atherosclerosis.
Join prominent researchers who can inform innovative approaches for success and engage in shaping the direction of precision cardiovascular research in our community.
