Late-Breaking Clinical Trials
The Heart Rhythm Society recognizes that some exciting and rapidly evolving research may not be concluded in time for the December 9, 2011 abstract submission deadline. In an effort to highlight timely and novel work at Heart Rhythm 2012, the Scientific Sessions Program Committee has developed a peer-reviewed session of late-breaking trials that allows for later submission and more rapid presentation. The deadline will be March 14.

Most official sessions and events will be held at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, which is located at 415 Summer Street, Boston, MA.

Onsite, the Heart Rhythm 2012 Press Room will be located in the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (Room 151A).
