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 63rd annual meeting of the American College of Cardiology in Washington, USA, from 29th to 31st March 2014. This article gives an overview on a number of novel clinical trials in the field of cardiovascular medicine, which were presented. Comprehensive summaries have been generated from the oral presentation and the webcasts of the American College of Cardiology, similar to as previously reported and should provide the readers with the most comprehensive information of relevant publications. The discussed studies are US CoreValve, Choice, Symplcity-HTN-3, GRS, ZEUS, GIPS-III, HEAT-PPCI, COPR-2, MSC-HF, POISE-2, SIRS. The data were presented by leading experts in the field.
