HCMS will co-locate its annual Scientific Session with the AHA's Scientific Sessions, to be held November 7–10, 2025, in New Orleans. HCMS will plan and deliver their full-day scientific program focused on the latest research advances in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) on Friday, November 7, 2025, from 6:30 a.m. to 6:45 p.m., while extending HCM research into the AHA Scientific Sessions to reach the broader cardiovascular community as well.

Features of the AHA/HCMS collaboration include:

• Abstracts for HCMS’s Scientific Session will be submitted via the AHA’s Scientific Sessions 2025 portal, following all AHA processes and deadlines. (See our Submit Science page for details. ) Abstract submitters will self-select the option to submit to HCMS’s Scientific Session. Abstracts accepted and presented at HCMS will be published in the Circulation supplement for AHA’s Scientific Sessions 2025.
• Posters and tabletop exhibits will be a part of the HCMS program. More details will follow.
• Registration for HCMS’s Scientific Sessions will be hosted by AHA. Attendees will be able to register for HCMS’s Scientific Sessions alone or take advantage of a combination registration to attend both HCMS’s and AHA’s Scientific Sessions.
