Helpful Hints

  • Clinical trial results are prohibited from release until date and time of AHA designated embargo time. For late-breaking science and featured science the embargo time is the date and time of presentation at Scientific Sessions 2023. Clinical trial sponsors must comply with embargo guidelines established by the American Heart Association.

  • You are prohibited from sharing written embargoed information with anyone outside of the AHA with the exception of journal manuscript submission. Important Note: Industry announcements required by the SEC (Security Exchange Commission) must be approved by AHA prior to release and any level of information released without approval will be considered an embargo break.
