title: Conference report from the 2012 AHA scientific sessions in Los Angeles.
abstract: The 2012 Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association was held on November 3 - 7 in Los Angels, California. It covered up-to-date research on both basic- and clinical-cardiovascular science. We describe the highlights of the meeting focusing on basic science and clinical cardiology. More specifically we will discuss new insights on arrhythmias, cardiac cell death/survival and clinical studies involving novel and unique treatment paradigms.
