[The best of fundamental research in 2006].
The Cardiovascular Research Study Group attempts to organise round tables during its annual meetings based around themes that will allow clinical and fundamental researchers, especially the younger ones, to present their work. For example, certain round table subjects at the Spring cardiology meeting, such as 'Genetics: monogenic and polygenic diseases', 'Cellular therapy', and 'Ionic homoeostasis and cardiac arrhythmias', allowed several French laboratories to publish in some of the best journals such as Nature Genetics, Nature Methods, Circulation, and Circulation Research. During the Toulouse congress, eight poster prizes were awarded to young nonstatutory researchers under the age of 32 years. For the American Heart Association congress, eight travel grants were allocated to students whose abstracts had been accepted, paving the way for future publications from young French researchers in the best journals.
