Researchers, cardiologist and caregivers from the Intermountain Healthcare Heart Institute are sharing new research abstracts and studies at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions in Chicago, Mar. 28-30. The cardiovascular research topics include coronary calcium scores, left atrial appendage closures, statin adherence, blood pressure, and other collaborative research studies with other institutions. Experts are also serving as panelists in presentations during the conference.
 
Review the abstracts and posters below, then visit the Intermountain Healthcare cardiovascular team in the Expo Hall at the conference, booth #3063.
