NEW YORK – September 16, 2021 – The Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) has announced 22 late-breaking trial and science presentations that will be reported at TCT 2021. TCT is the annual scientific symposium of CRF and the world’s premier educational meeting specializing in interventional cardiovascular medicine. It will take place November 4-6, 2021 in Orlando, Florida at the Orange County Convention Center and simultaneously broadcast live.
“Every year, TCT features groundbreaking research in interventional cardiovascular medicine that directly impacts patient care and how physicians treat heart disease,” said Juan F. Granada, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer of CRF. “We are excited to be back in person to present a series of exciting new data that will continue pushing the field forward by improving procedures and identifying the types of patients who would benefit most from treatment.”
The studies selected examine the safety and effectiveness of minimally invasive techniques, pharmaceuticals, technologies, and devices that demonstrate potential to treat or prevent cardiovascular disease. Late-breaking trials and science will be presented in the Clinical Science Theater and highlighted during press conferences scheduled for Thursday, November 4; Friday, November 5; and Saturday, November 6.
