Hi there,

We are less than a week away from the American College of Cardiology 2023 Annual Scientific Session and Expo Together with World Congress of Cardiology. Experts from the University of Michigan Health Frankel Cardiovascular Center have several presentations, posters and discussions that cover the latest findings and innovations in the world of cardiovascular medicine. 

We also have members available for expert comment on late-breaking clinical trials and featured clinical research:
