NEW DELHI (Aug 07, 2024) - The American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the Cardiological Society of India will host ACC Asia 2024 on August 16-18 in Delhi, India. This conference will bring together all members of the cardiac care team to examine emerging trends and best practices for cardiovascular disease patient care.

“One of the most meaningful outcomes of the annual ACC Asia conference is the ability to communicate with other cardiologists to strategize and innovate new ideas,” said Eugene Yang, MD, MS, FACC, one of the ACC Asia conference co-chairs. “As a global community, we all share a common goal to transform cardiovascular care for all.”

The conference offers an opportunity for attendees to connect and exchange ideas with regional and global colleagues. Participants will be able to utilize the newest strategies in cardiovascular diagnosing and treatment, multi-modality imaging and more.

“It is critical for all members of the cardiac care team to become well-acquainted with the very latest in cardiovascular care innovation. ACC Asia puts the spotlight on emerging trends for treating patients with cardiovascular disease, giving attendees the tools they need to elevate their practice,” said Pratap Chandra Rath, MD, DM, FACC, ACC Asia’s conference co-chair.

During the meeting, three ACC Asia chapter teams will compete in ACC FIT Jeopardy, a friendly competition between ACC Fellows-In-Training that tests their clinical knowledge. The ACC Asia chapter teams are quizzed on a variety of cardiology-based topics, including prevention, imaging and interventional cardiology. The winning team will compete at the ACC.25 FIT Jeopardy competition in Chicago in March 2025.

The conference will feature can’t-miss educational sessions, such as:
