AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS 2011 

Heart Institute Presentations 

and Activities Schedule 

Dear Colleagues: 

The American Heart Association Scientific Sessions will take place this year from November 12–16 in 

Orlando, Florida. This is the largest and most exciting venue for cardiovascular science and medicine 

in the world, and the University of Ottawa Heart Institute will once again be well-represented. 

Our staff has more than 40 presentations, posters and invited talks on the program, with one 

highlighted as a Top 5 abstract from Canada and another nominated for the ATVB Council Award 

for Outstanding Research by an Early Career Investigator. 

If you will be attending the conference, please join our colleagues as they present this outstanding 

work and continue to advance the knowledge and practice of cardiovascular medicine. 

Sincerely, 

Dr. Robert Roberts, MD, FRCPC, MACC 

President and Chief Executive Officer 

University of Ottawa Heart Institute

interacting protein that 

appears to play a role 

in heart development 

and aging, has been 

selected as one of 

the Top 5 abstracts from Canada for 

this year’s conference. Along with the 

presentation of his work, Patrick has

A study led by 

Branka Vulesevic 

has determined that 

overexpression of the 

enzyme glyoxalase-1 

(GLO1), may promote 

blood vessel growth in 

diabetics. This research 

could provide targets for therapies to 

ultimately reduce mortality associated 

with vascular complications in diabetic 

patients. Branka has been nominated for 

the ATVB Council Award for Outstanding 

Research by an Early Career Investigator 

and will be presenting her team’s work at 

the conference.
