Annual Cardiovascular Scientific Day

In order to bring together faculty from the Heart & Stroke/Richard Lewar Centre of Excellence and across the University of Toronto, an annual Cardiovascular Scientific Day is held each year in April. The goal is to provide updates on the frontiers of cardiovascular sciences. Symposium topics are drawn from all research themes, from basic biomedical to clinical to outcomes; it is hoped that discussion will promote cross-fertilization of ideas and research direction. 

Next Annual Cardiovascular Scientific Day: Thursday April 18, 2013

Deadline for Abstract Submission is Friday April 5th

Deadline for Online registration is Friday April 12th
