ACC 2027 is the 76th Annual Scientific Session & Expo of the American College of Cardiology, held this year together with the World Congress of Cardiology as ACC.27-WCC. The programme aims to help the whole cardiovascular care team keep up with emerging science and guideline recommendations, and apply evidence-based strategies to prevention, diagnosis, treatment and long-term management.
Content is organized into learning pathways: cardiac arrhythmias, prevention, congenital heart disease, coronary, peripheral and structural interventions, heart failure and cardiomyopathies, ischemic heart disease, multimodal imaging, pulmonary vascular disease, valvular disease, vascular disease and special topics. Formats include scientific sessions, intensives, Heart2Heart discussions, keynotes, interactive programmes and original research. Digital health, AI, advanced imaging, novel therapies and quality and equity of care are also covered.
All peer-reviewed abstracts and cases are presented in person as oral, moderated poster or flatboard poster presentations, and they appear in an online JACC supplement. Those who cannot travel can follow the virtual programme, ACC.27-WCC@Home, which has its own credit allowance.
The submission rules show the breadth of the meeting: abstracts are sorted into 63 categories and complex clinical cases into 12, while separate cardiovascular team tracks invite allied health professionals, advanced practice nurses, physician assistants and clinical pharmacists to submit their work. Most accepted abstracts and cases are shown as flatboard posters, and an ePoster system keeps them available for self-study, with access based on registration category.
