American Heart Association 2017 Anaheim

Our research team presented and contributed to nine abstracts and posters at the AHA's 2017 Scientific Session in Anaheim. We'll post each item as they are presented at the conference:

Our news releases provide excellent summaries of the research topics we presented at AHA 2017.

• Reduction in Common Heart Hormone Associated with Improved Outcomes and Lower Mortality for Heart Failure Patients
• Cholesterol Testing Reduces Risk of Recurrence for Heart Attack and Stroke Patients
• Heart Attack and Stroke Patients Prescribed Statin Medication Upon Discharge Have Better Long-Term Outcomes
• Extreme Swings in Blood Pressure As Deadly as Consistently High Blood Pressure
• Many Patients Not Getting Protective Statin Medications Upon Discharge
• Study Finds Certain People Have Increased Risks of Heart Attack During Periods of High Air Pollution
