Embargo Policy
Abstracts and presentations are embargoed for release until the date and time of presentation at Scientific Sessions 2024. Information may not be released before then. Failure to honor embargo policies will result in the trial being withdrawn on site and barred from presentation. Any breach of the embargo policy may adversely affect participation in future AHA Sessions. Clinical trial sponsors must comply with the embargo guidelines established by the American Heart Association.
We understand that the sponsoring organization may be required to release top-line results in order to follow SEC (Security Exchange Commission) regulations, however, AHA must be notified before ANY release of information. Any level of information released without approval will be considered an embargo break. Please contact Mary Lu Hare if you are preparing a press release or for any questions.
