Charles T. Dotter Memorial Lecture

Sponsored by the Council on Cardiovascular Radiology and Intervention


The Dotter Memorial Lecture was established in 1987 by the Council on Cardiovascular Radiology (now the Council on Cardiovascular Radiology and Intervention) to honor Dr. Dotter, who contributed significantly to the evaluation of cardiovascular angiography and pioneered the development of angioplasty and other interventional cardiovascular procedures. The first lecture was presented in 1987.

The Dotter Lecture is presented annually at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions. Honorees are selected by the Council on Cardiovascular Radiology and Intervention leadership and are invited to present a lecture on a topic of their choice.
