“ACC‘s Vision is a world where science knowledge and innovation optimize cardiovascular care and outcomes and what better way than getting together at ACC Latin America regional conference paired with CardioAcademic in Mexico City,” Wilson said. “These are two great meeting venues joined together for the best Latin America regional conference with cardiovascular thought leaders, along with other leaders in the Americas creating a dynamic exchange of leading-edge knowledge and practical networking. We’re sure attendees will find plenty to take home and put into practice for their patients.”
