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.
