The ACC and the Japanese College of Cardiology continue hone their long-term partnership at the 2019 ACC Asia Conference, together with JCC 2019 in Nagoya, Japan, from September 13-14.

Co-Chaired by Aaron D. Kugelmass, MD, FACC, and Keiichi Fukuda, MD, PhD, FACC, the Asia Conference brings together top experts to discuss and review new, relevant cardiovascular science pertinent to the region. ACC leaders like Pamela Morris, MD, FACC; Shun Kohsaka, MD, PhD, FACC; Fred Kusumoto, MD, FACC; ACC Immediate Past President C. Michael Valentine, MD, MACC; Minoru Ono, MD, PhD; Frederick Masoudi, MD, MSPH, FACC, and ACC Chief Innovation Officer John Rumsfeld, MD, FACC, will join with local leaders to discuss topics such as promoting quality care and outcomes through registries, cardiovascular disease prevention in a new era of options, advanced heart failure management and artificial intelligence and the future of cardiology. Additionally, conference attendees will have unique opportunities to examine emerging trends and strategies, as well as test their skills and network with colleagues from across the region.

ACC has selected three of the abstracts presented at JCC 2019 as top abstracts. These abstracts focus on "Clinical Impact of Hemodialysis on Short-term Prognosis in Acute Heart Failure: Multi-center Registry from Tokyo Cardiovascular Care Unit Network;" "Irregular Protrusion is Correlated With Development of Neoatherosclerosis After New Generation Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation: Optical Coherence Tomographic Study;" and "Real-World Three-Year Outcome in Patients With Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation in the Era of Treatment With Direct Oral Anti-Coagulants." The abstract authors will be able to present their research as posters at ACC.20 together with the World Congress of Cardiology, taking place March 28-30, 2020, in Chicago.
