2024 Annual CMHC Call for Abstracts
CMHC Chairpersons George L. Bakris, MD, Christie M. Ballantyne, MD, Robert H. Eckel, MD, and Anne L. Peters, MD, invite you to submit scientific poster abstracts to be presented at the 2024 Cardiometabolic Health Congress (CMHC).
Multidisciplinary clinicians from across the country will gather to discuss the most up-to-date developments in cardiometabolic health, including dyslipidemia, heart failure, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, weight management, and chronic kidney disease.
To enrich the attendee experience, we will offer scientific poster sessions to share the latest information from current research and clinical findings. Abstracts may be research-oriented or evidence-based practice that are relevant to frontline practitioners who treat patients with cardiometabolic disease.
Submit your abstract now and stay tuned for more information about which projects will be selected for publication in early 2025.
All individuals who require a visa to enter the United States are urged to immediately obtain necessary papers to attend the meeting upon submission of the abstract. A letter inviting any individual who wishes to attend may be obtained by emailing info@cardiometabolichealth.org. This letter does not imply any financial support by CMHC.

Late-Breaking Abstracts
The CMHC late-breaking abstracts policy allows for the submission of late-breaking abstracts only for randomized phase II and phase III trials for which no preliminary data are available at the time of the abstract submission deadline (September 13, 2024), but for which a preplanned analysis of the primary endpoint is scheduled after that date but before September 27, 2024 (deadline for the final, updated late-breaking abstract). During abstract submission, you will be required to provide the date of planned analysis. The policy is not a mechanism to allow for updated data to be submitted later when preliminary data are available by the abstract submission deadline. Late-breaking abstracts must follow the same abstract guidelines listed on this page.
Submission
The 2024 abstract submission system is now closed.
