Past SCVP Meetings – Page 3

Baltimore

The Society for Cardiovascular Pathology had a wonderful collection of meetings and events in Baltimore, Maryland. The Saturday night event consisted of two excellent lectures by Drs. Duke Cameron and Tom Traill concerning the history of congenital heart disease and late complications in adults who have undergone repair as children. The lectures were followed by light fare and a display of original plastinated hearts that were operated on by Dr. Alfred Blalock.

Sunday morning had wonderful lectures on the role of angiogenesis in disease. This was followed by short presentations of the young investigator award nominees. Afterwards, Dr. Gimbrone gave his Distinguished Achievement Award speech. That evening, we had our annual awards banquet at Aldo’s in the heart of Little Italy. The wine was superb.

During the USCAP meeting, there were excellent presentations during the poster session, the oral session and the evening specialty conference. Despite the threat of a major snow storm and all airlines cancelling their flights, everyone eventually made it home in good spirits.

Everyone is looking forward to much better weather at the 2014 USCAP meeting to be held in San Diego, California.

Vancouver

The Society for Cardiovascular Pathology had a very successful series of meetings and social events at the 2012 USCAP meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia. The Saturday night event consisted of excellent talks by Drs. Wood and Padera showing the promise of percutaneous replacement heart valves and their potential pathologies. We then had a number of promising young residents and fellows make short presentations of their work, which were evaluated towards the awarding of the SCVP Young Investigator Award.

Sunday morning had five speakers all discuss atherosclerosis highlighting new discoveries and methods to evalute this disease. Dr. Gotlieb gave his Distinguished Achievement Award speech. That evening, we had our annual awards banquet at The Vancouver Club.

During the USCAP meeting, there were excellent presentations during the poster session, the oral session and the evening specialty conference. Everyone is looking forward to the 2013 USCAP meeting to be held in Baltimore,
