AHA Scientific Sessions

This year's AHA Scientific Sessions is nearly here, and as Chair of the program committee for this annual event, I can genuinely attest that the content this year is among the most compelling we've ever seen. The depth and diversity, ranging from cross-disciplinary science, late breakers, and clinical case sessions, promises to satisfy all interests and specialties.

AHA has assembled an exceptional suite of tools to enhance your Sessions experience. I encourage you to access the meeting planner and app via the following links:

I’d love to connect with you in person or via X (formerly Twitter), @dramitkhera, where I will be posting highlights throughout the conference and sharing news about all the exciting developments at UT Southwestern.

I look forward to hearing from you, and hope you have a productive and rewarding conference!
