Late-Breaking Clinical Trials Submissions — Deadline March 16!
| Late-Breaking Submission Site and Guidelines! The Late-Breaking Clinical Trial Submission Site is now open. The deadline for submission is Tuesday, March 16 at 11:59 p.m. EST. Visit the 2010 Online Itinerary Planner today to begin planning your schedule for the 31st Annual Scientific Sessions. |
The Heart Rhythm Society recognizes that exciting and rapidly evolving research may not have been concluded in time for the December 11, 2009 abstract submission deadline. In an effort to highlight timely and novel work at Heart Rhythm 2010, the Scientific Sessions Program Committee developed a peer-reviewed session of late-breaking clinical trials (LBCT) that allows for later submission and more emergent presentation. Visit the LBCT online submission website now »
This year, the Scientific Sessions Program Committee plans to offer two Late-Breaking Clinical Trial Sessions at Heart Rhythm 2010. For questions or comments about LBCT abstract submissions, please contact Chloé Muhammad, Coordinator, Scientific Sessions at abstracts@HRSonline.org.
