Submit Your Science

The ACC's Annual Scientific Session brings together leading cardiovascular professionals from around the world to discuss and debate the latest science and research. Late-Breaking Clinical Trials, Abstracts and Cases are an important component of the scientific program — they are a vital channel for sharing important scientific research.

At ACC.21 you will have the opportunity to share your research with colleagues from around the world — both in person at ACC.21 and through ACC.21 Virtual — extending your reach to a whole new audience. In addition, accepted abstracts will be published online in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, one of the top-ranked cardiovascular journals in the world!

The ACC accepts submissions in a wide variety of submission categories — abstracts across 10 learning pathways PLUS the Spotlight on Special Topics, Complex Clinical Cases (including FIT Cases, CVT Cases and MD/PhD Cases), Interventional Challenging Cases, and Young Investigator Awards — so everyone on the care team can be part of ACC.21!

Don't miss your chance to share your science at ACC.21!
