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 8-10 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 accepted 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. More details will
  follow.
• Registration for the program will be hosted by AHA. HCMS attendees will receive a link to the AHA portal. Attendees will be able to register for the HCMS’s Scientific Session alone or take advantage of a combination registration for both  HCMS’s and AHA’s Scientific Sessions.
• A block of hotel rooms will be reserved for HCMS attendees.

More details will be available soon here.
