In this podcast, Dr. Joe Kim discusses some of the sessions and important issues he will be covering at this year's ACC Conference.

A novel mitral valve clip was proven to be as safe and effective as open-chest surgery in selected patients with mitral valve regurgitation.

Genetic testing as part of initial management of patients on warfarin reduced hospitalizations by nearly 30%.

A novel drug-eluting stent using a new alloy and design achieved comparable outcomes versus earlier generation drug-eluting stents in the PERSEUS trial.

Remote monitoring of patients with an ICD had shorter times to clinical decision-making versus standard office visits in the CONNECT trial.

Portable ORs, using thoughts to control motions, and auto-anesthesia--these are some of the technologies that will transform the practice of cardiology.

During the meeting, there were hundred of poster presentations. Hypertension-specific posters are profiled here.

In yet another outstanding set of poster presentations, the following were among the best under the heading "hypertension and heart failure."

These three posters presented at the conference stood out under the "exercise and vascular modulation" heading.

A cryoablation catheter system was nearly 10 times more effective than standard drug therapy in eliminating intermittent atrial fibrillation and equally safe.

Several studies were presented under the topic of biomarker implications in myocardial ischemia/infarction at the ACC.10.

There were several very good studies presented during this poster session at ACC.10. Here, the best are highlighted.

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Chris Jennings discussed the state of health care reform.
