←  BACK TO CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

Deadline to submit a Research Abstract: Tuesday, 19 October, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. EDT
Submitted abstracts can be edited until the deadline.
 

Format

A research abstract must include the following information (limited to 2,140 characters, not including spaces):
 

• Title
• Brief statement of Purpose of the study (goal or hypothesis being tested)
• Statement of Methods and procedures used
• Summary of Results, presented in sufficient detail to support the conclusion
• Study Conclusion
   

Note: abstracts undergo a blind review process; therefore, abstain from using institution names within the abstract. If accepted, you may update your presentation accordingly.
 

Authors

The Full Name, Affiliation, Email Address, and Disclosure Statement for the Presenting Author and each co-author must be included. There is no limit to the number of authors, and author information is not counted towards the character limit.

The Submitting Author is responsible for notifying all named co-authors that they will be listed as a co-author on a submitted abstract.

The Presenting Author will be the only author to receive notification of acceptance/rejection of a submitted abstract; therefore, it is the Presenting Author's responsibility to notify all co-authors regarding the outcome of an abstract submission.
 

Submission Categories

Your abstract may be submitted into only one category. Submission of the same abstract into multiple categories is not permitted. Submission of one study as several different abstracts is also not permitted. If the abstracts in question are not different enough to be considered separate studies, or if the same abstract is submitted into multiple categories, all versions may be rejected.

Abstract Submission Categories are separated into four Core Therapies:

• Advanced Heart Failure and Transplantation (HEART)
• Advanced Lung Failure and Transplantation (LUNG)
• Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS)
• Pulmonary Vascular Disease (PAH and CTEPH) (PVD)
