CMHC Chairpersons Christie M. Ballantyne, MD, Robert H. Eckel, MD, Jay S. Skyler, MD, and George L. Bakris, MD invite you to submit scientific poster abstracts to be presented at the 2019 Cardiometabolic Health Congress (CMHC). Plan now to have your poster included! More than 1,300 cardiologists, endocrinologists, lipidologists, and allied healthcare professionals 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, and weight management. 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.
Due to current travel restrictions, 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.
Best Poster Award:
At the 14th Annual Cardiometabolic Health Congress (CMHC), the scientific committee will select the best scientific poster abstract based on ingenuity and content. The winning presenter will be awarded a prize of $300, sponsored by Medical Sciences, an international open access journal providing a platform for advances in basic, translational, and clinical research.

Abstract Guidelines:
Disclosure:
CMHC requires faculty and poster authors/presenters who have an interest in selling a technology, program, product, and/or service to healthcare professionals to disclose this information in order to be considered for and/or present at any CMHC educational session.
Publication:
If your abstract is accepted, you will be notified on or by Friday, September 6, 2019, and the abstracts will be posted on the CMHC website by September 27, 2019. Only accepted abstracts will be posted online. Posters will be published within the CMHC mobile app and the CMHC website following the Congress.
Poster and Presentation Guidelines:
Poster Setup:
Authors should arrive on site to have their posters up by 10:00am on Friday, October 11 (Day 2 of the conference). CMHC will provide a poster board, pushpins, and poster number. If you would like to provide reprints of your posters (ie, handouts) you may leave them under your assigned poster board. Posters will be available for public viewing during the exhibit breaks (time and day will be designated 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 (August 16, 2019), but for which a preplanned analysis of the primary endpoint is scheduled after that date but before September 20, 2019 (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.
