Thank you to everyone who supported this year's Texas Heart Institute International Symposium on Cardiovascular Regenerative Medicine! The meeting was a great success and we look forward to seeing everyone again next year.

Overview

In the current landscape of development of the field of clinical regenerative medicine it is important to share new findings, discuss and debate the state of the field in order to direct further development and build the framework for clinical implementation. This meeting will provide an important forum for these activities.

Unlike areas with known evidence-based knowledge, the field of clinical stem cell therapy is a nascent field in which most of the competence and performance issues are unestablished. The primary need for this educational activity is knowledge based. Both need for knowledge and application of knowledge to establish successful strategies in clinical regenerative medicine are the goals of this symposium.

This two-day symposium will include advanced lectures and dynamic case presentations from leaders in each field and the opportunity to interact with leaders in an intimate meeting format.

Our audience for this continuing medical education activity will include physicians and researchers with an interest in cardiovascular regenerative medicine.
