Heart Rhythm Abstracts

Oral and Poster Abstract Sessions at Heart Rhythm 2010
Oral abstract sessions took place on Thursday, May 13, 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. and on Friday, May 14, 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. No other scientific sessions were held during these times, allowing Heart Rhythm 2010 attendees to attend both oral abstract sessions and invited speaker sessions. The abstracts selected for poster presentations were displayed daily in Poster Town, located in the Heart Rhythm 2010 Exhibit Hall. Presenters were at their posters for a scheduled one-hour session on one of the three days of the meeting. Learn more about Oral and Poster Abstract Sessions »

Late-Breaking Clinical Trials Sessions
Recognizing that exciting and rapidly evolving research may not have been concluded in time for the original abstract submission deadline, the Scientific Sessions Program Committee developed a peer-reviewed session of late-breaking clinical trials that allows for later submission and more emergent presentation.

Late-Breaking Clinical Trials Sessions — Two sessions featuring 11 abstracts were presented at Heart Rhythm 2010 focusing on devices and atrial fibrillation. Sessions took place on Thursday, May 13 and Friday, May 14, from 8:00 – 9:30 a.m. in the Four Seasons Ballroom 3-4 of the Colorado Convention Center. Learn more »
