The American Heart Association Science Sessions will be a fully virtual event taking place November 13-15, 2021 and will feature seven last-minute science sessions over 3 days.
The latest delays include new data from the landmark EMPEROR-Preserved trial of empagliflozin (Jardiance, Boehringer Ingelheim / Eli Lilly) in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction; the PREPARE-IT 2 trial on ethyl icosapent (Vascepa, Amarin) as an outpatient treatment with COVID-19; and the Fitbit Heart Study, which will provide data on the detection of atrial fibrillation in patients using the Fitbit wearable device.

The AHA has announced the following last-minute scientific programming for the annual meeting:
Late-Breaking Science 1: Valves, Veins, and New Perspectives in Cardiothoracic Surgery
- Aortic valve replacement versus watchful waiting in severe asymptomatic aortic stenosis: the AVATAR trial
- Evaluating the Benefits of Concomitant Tricuspid Repair During Mitral Valve Surgery

- Efficacy and safety of an external support device for saphenous vein coronary bypass grafts: the VEST trial
Late-Breaking Science 2: Hypertension: Local, Global and Pandemic Impacts
- A remote hypertension and lipid program in 10,000 patients in a diverse healthcare network
- Disruption of blood pressure monitoring with the COVID-19 pandemic: a study of 24 U.S. health systems in the PCORnet blood pressure monitoring lab (BP Track)
- A cluster-randomized trial of a village doctor-led intervention on blood pressure control: China Rural Hypertension Control Project (CRHCP)
Late-breaking science 3: From prevention to intervention in atrial arrhythmias
- The Coffee and Real-Time Atrial-Ventricular Ectopia (CRAVE) Trial
- Dabigatran versus warfarin on cognitive outcomes of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: results of the GIRAF trial
