Hot Lines and Clinical Trial Updates

Welcome to the "Hot Line and Clinical Trial Updates" congress reports. This is a forum for rapid presentation of the hottest clinical trial data live from the annual ESC Congress.

You will find daily reports from each of the Hotline Sessions and Clinical Trial Updates, presented by the persons who serve as presenters and discussants during the sessions. The reports include a summary of the main findings and a commentary with emphasis on implications for clinical practice.

Reports will become available on this page shortly after a session and many of them will be supported by a slide presentation.
