Smart Science, Real Solutions: ACC Asia 2025 Tackles Heart Health Challenges Across Asia
The ACC and Singapore Cardiac Society (SCS) are in Singapore for the ACC Asia 2025 Together With SCS 36th Annual Scientific Meeting, bringing together leading experts and cardiovascular clinicians from across Asia to examine emerging trends and evidence-based strategies in the prevention and management of patients with heart disease.
"The ACC regional conferences play a crucial role in fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange within the global cardiovascular community. By partnering with the Singapore Cardiac Society for this year's conference in Asia, we have opportunities to share and address the unique challenges amongst cardiovascular professions in the region," said David C.G. Foo, MBBS, FACC, ACC Asia conference co-chair and president of the Singapore Cardiac Society. "It's vital that we continue to share insights, research, and best practices to improve patient outcomes worldwide. Through this event, we hope attendees leave with a deeper understanding of cutting-edge care, new ideas to integrate into their own clinical practices, and a strengthened network of peers committed to transforming cardiovascular health for all."
Over the course of three days, attendees will have opportunities to learn about the latest cardiovascular diagnostic methods and treatment strategies and engage in discussions with expert faculty from throughout Asia and the rest of the world on hot topics ranging from heart failure to prevention. Key plenary sessions will address some of the biggest issues facing cardiovascular clinicians, including:
- Cardiac MRI for Suspected Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Getting to the Heart of the Matter with ACC President Christopher M. Kramer, MD, FACC
- Utilizing Artificial intelligence (AI) in Daily Cardiology Practice: Ready for Prime Time? with ACC Chief Innovation Officer Ami B. Bhatt, MD, FACC
- Overview of Recent Advances in Cancer Therapeutics and Cardiotoxicity with JACC: CardioOncology Editor-in-Chief Bonnie Ky, MD, MSCE, FACC
Participants will also come away with localized best practices for applying the latest science in daily clinical practice and have the opportunity to share new science from across the region as part of abstract and case presentations. Additionally, three ACC Asia Chapter teams from Malaysia, Philippines and Singapore, will also compete in ACC FIT Jeopardy for a chance to compete at ACC.26 in New Orleans, LA, in March 2026. New this year, the ACC will also be recognizing more than 40 individuals from throughout the region who have earned the distinguished Fellow of the ACC (FACC) designation. This prestigious credential recognizes a commitment to improving patient care and outcomes.
"ACC Asia will be an unforgettable meeting filled with learning, connection and the vibrant culture of Singapore," said Eugene Yang, MD, FACC, ACC Asia conference co-chair. "I am especially looking forward to the plenary discussion on how AI is being integrated into clinical care. AI is impacting all industries and cardiology is no exception. Another true highlight is the Convocation ceremony, the first one ever at an ACC regional conference. This is a proud moment that reflects the growing strength of our global community, and I am so glad to be a part of it."
