Highlights from the 2017 American heart association scientific sessions in Anaheim, California

Abstract

The Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis is proud to present the first article in a new section entitled “National and International Meeting Highlights”. Each article in this series will review some of the major studies or guideline updates presented at international conferences. The conferences covered in this series will include the American Heart Association Annual Scientific Sessions, American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting, American College of Cardiology Annual Scientific Session, International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis Biennial Congress, and European Society of Cardiology Annual Congress. Although all the exciting presentations at each conference cannot be covered in these articles, we hope this series provides readers with a taste of the ones that may shape guidelines and practice.
