ACC.21 Top Data Summary

Our editorial staff and advisory board have teamed up to provide you with a shortlist of highlighted data and summary slides on their picks for the most important data to be released at the American College of Cardiology's 70th Annual Scientific Session.

As part of our coverage of ACC.21, Practical Cardiology has put together a curated list of the top most-viewed and most impactful pieces of data to come from this year's conference. Our list includes more than a half dozen pieces of unique content related to advances in heart failure, best practices in DAPT after PCI, controversy around fish oil-based therapies, and more.

Editor's note: Clicking on slides will open a new tab with specific coverage of that topic from ACC.21.
