Abstract

This article provides information and commentaries on trials which were presented at the Hotline and Clinical Trial Update Sessions during the Late Breaking Clinical Trial Sessions at the 60th annual meeting of the American College of Cardiology in New Orleans, USA, from 2nd April to 5th April 2011. This article gives an overview on a number of novel clinical trials in the field of cardiovascular medicine, which were presented. The comprehensive summaries have been generated from the oral presentation and the webcasts of the American College of Cardiology, similar as previousely reported (Gensch et al. Clin Res Cardiol 100:1–9, 2011; Lenski et al. Clin Res Cardiol 99:679–692, 2010) and should provide the readers with the most comprehensive information of relevant publications. The data were presented by leading experts in the field with relevant positions in the trials.
