SCAI 2021 Scientific Sessions were held virtually April 28 – May 1, 2021, and Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation® (MHIF) was well represented with 26 research physicians, staff and MHIF international scholars taking part in 8 live sessions and 9 poster presentations.

The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) is a nonprofit medical society representing invasive and interventional cardiology. This annual conference connects interventional cardiology professionals from across the world to share the latest clinical data, procedural guidance, and advanced expertise in the field.

MHIF is committed to sharing the results of our innovative research, and our breadth of knowledge and expertise across all areas of cardiovascular disease. Research specifically related to heart valve disease, coronary artery disease, cardiovascular imaging, and structural heart disease was featured at this conference.
