Preliminary Program
(available June 2012)
The Canadian cardiovascular community recognizes the CCC 2012 Scientific Program as an important educational forum for Canadian cardiovascular health professionals. The program delivers high-quality science and education through plenary sessions, lively debates, clinical trial updates, poster and moderated poster presentations, simultaneous oral sessions, interactive workshops, public forums, informal ‘Meet the Expert’ sessions and more.
As CCS Annual Meeting Chair, Dr. Thomas Parker, oversees all content-related activities within and associated with the CCS Scientific Program. In doing so, Dr. Parker ensures the Scientific Program provides attendees with the learning experience they seek.
Learning Tracks
Learning tracks help to isolate specific program content within a cardiovascular specialty. Depending on the topic, or focus, certain sessions may have more than one learning track associated to them. Learning tracks associated with a session are listed in order of focus. Learning tracks are assigned to:
• Plenary Sessions
• Workshops / Spotlight
• Abstract sessions (Oral, Poster, Clinical Case)
• Accredited Symposia
There are eleven (11) Learning Tracks, each with a corresponding icon. Listed alphabetically, they are identified as follows:
 Atherosclerosis, Basic Vascular
 Ischemic Heart Disease, ACS, PCI, Stroke
 Pediatrics and Congenital Heart Disease
 Electrophysiology, Sudden Cardiac Death, Arrhythmology
 Heart Failure, Heart Function, Cardiomyopathy, Transplant
 Hypertension
 Imaging Techniques, Nuclear Cardiology, MRI, Echo
 Policy
 Prevention
 Cardiac Surgery, Anesthesia
 Of Interest to All Tracks
Other icons appearing in the Final Program are:
 Community Cardiology
 Trainee
 Simultaneous Interpretation

Community Cardiology
Sessions identified as Community Cardiology provide a comprehensive summary in cardiovascular care. Community cardiologists, trainees and allied health professionals find the Community Cardiology sessions provide an integrated and up-to-date perspective of general cardiovascular practice and care. These sessions are identified by the following icon: ( ).
Trainee
Sessions identified as Trainee provide resources and information relevant to residents, fellows, medical students, masters and doctoral students, nursing trainees, as well as post-graduates. The sessions are identified by the following icon ().
Individual Programs will be available in June.
