New topics include:

- Developments in mechanical and pharmacologic treatments

- Discoveries in developmental biology

- Up-and-coming imaging modalities

- Surgical options of mechanical circulatory support and cardiac transplantation

- Pharmacogenomics and gene-based and cell-based therapies

- Gene expression/recurrence in heart failure and changes in metabolic substrate utilization and pathways
