The 2019 CNAHA Bernard Lown Lectureship was given by Professor Jie Cheng (Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Heart Institute), who updated the progress in cell therapy for heart failure.
Later, two excellent distinguished lectures were presented by Professor Ivor J. Benjamin (Medical College of Wisconsin) and Professor Elizabeth McNally (Northwestern
University). The topic of Dr. Benjamin’s talk was “Protein misfolding diseases: Lessons from Alzheimer’s to cardiomyopathy and the AHA”, and Dr McNally’s was “Genetics of cardiomyopathies”. Twenty posters that had been accepted by the AHA were also displayed. The presenters from both the US and China had thorough discussions with other participants.
At the beginning of the “Philly Night” evening session, Professor Ivor J. Benjamin, immediate past president of the AHA, Professor Elizabeth McNally, Elect Vice Chairperson of AHA council on BCVS, and Professor Algan Dauherty, Past Chair of AHA council on ATVB, Editor-in-Chief, ATVB delivered warm remarks praising the contributions made by scholars of Chinese ancestry on both clinical and basic research fields. These were followed by the “Philly Night” Keynote Speech by Professor Joseph Hill, Editor-in-Chief, who presented on “HFpEP: Malady, Model, and Mechanisms”. Later, two distinguished guest speakers from Chinese institutes brought the “Philly Night” to a climax. Professor Junbo Ge, President, Oriental Congress of Cardiology presented on “Innovations of Device Therapy in China and Opportunities”. Professor Changsheng Ma, Former President, Great Wall International Congress of Cardiology presented on “Clinical research in China: Opportunities and challenges”. At 9:30 pm, the event came to the end by the ceremonies of YIA, ACRE Service Award, and [Qing-Nian-Xin-Feng] the 2nd Sino-US Young Physician Skills Competition Award.
