The Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Medical Society (HCMS) is excited to announce a new collaboration with the American Heart Association to co-locate our annual Scientific Session symposium at AHA’s Annual Scientific Sessions 2025 meeting, November 7-10 in New Orleans.

The collaboration enables HCMS to plan and deliver the full-day scientific program it is known for on Friday, November 7, while extending HCM research into the AHA's Scientific Sessions to reach the broader cardiovascular community as well.  

Features of the AHA collaboration include :

• Abstracts for HCMS’s Scientific Session will be submitted via the AHA’s Scientific Sessions 2025 portal, following all AHA processes and deadlines. Abstract submitters will self-select the option to submit to HCMS’s Scientific Session. Abstracts not selected for presentation at HCMS may be accepted for presentation at AHA and vice versa. No abstract will be approved for presentation at both events. Encore abstracts will not be accepted. Abstracts selected and presented at HCMS will be published in the Circulation supplement for AHA’s Scientific Sessions 2025.
• Posters and tabletop exhibits will be a part of the HCMS program. Please reach out to info@hcmsociety.org for details.
• Registration for the program is now open here! HCMS members were emailed a unique individual promo code for free registration on June 30 to attend the HCMS Scientific Sessions. Please note that there are a limited number of seats; once capacity is reached no additional registrations will be accepted, even with a promo code.
• Registration to AHA is not included with this, and should be made separately. 
• Hotel rooms can be reserved through the AHA site.

More details will be available soon here.
