Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:
This entry is for MedPage Today’s coverage of the 2015 American Heart Association Scientific Sessions. Heart disease, of course, runs neck and neck with cancer as America’s biggest killer, and the AHA’s annual meeting in November is one of the year’s most important scientific conferences. Major new findings in treatment and prevention, potentially changing everyday medical practice, are unveiled there each year, and 2015 was no different. Real-time coverage of this meeting is a must for any publication serving American clinicians.
MedPage Today provided saturation coverage of the meeting, with many stories posted within minutes of the studies’ release. We posted a total of 24 text stories (accessible from the main AHA conference landing page) , plus a whopping 45 video interviews with experts commenting on the new findings presented at the meeting (collected at the Video Conference Reporter page).
