The ECVR would like to extend our thanks to everyone who attended and participated in the Annual Data Blitz and Luncheon on March 21! We had almost 50 people in attendance for the Blitz as well as our “Life in Cardiovascular Sciences” panel discussion, and both sessions were interactive and hopefully informative for all.

We would also like to congratulate the winner of this year’s BCVS/ECVR Data Blitz, Kelsey Conrad from Phil Owens’s lab, for her presentation “The role of gut microbe-dependent trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) in abdominal aortic aneurysm”.

Events such as this would not be possible without the incredible support we’ve received from the Greater Cincinnati American Heart Association (AHA) as well as the UC Heart Lung and Vascular Institute (HLVI) and the Heart Institute at CCHMC. Thanks to these and other partnerships, the ECVR is already planning additional events for our trainees and early career cardiovascular scientists. 

Thanks to the CIncinnati AHA for giving us a forum to share our research with AHA volunteers! We hope that our research stories can help the AHA in its mission to support cardiovascular health education and research innovation.

If you are a Cincinnati cardiovascular researcher (or ECVR member) who wants to share their story with the AHA at a future event please email Ronald.Vagnozzi@cchmc.org

An enormous thank you to Dr. Sussman for a great trainee lunch session and an interesting Keynote Lecture for the Ohio Physiological Society Meeting.

Congrats to the ECVR members selected to present at this year's Heart Institute Research Retreat!

Congratulations to Valeria Rudomanova (PhD Student, Molecular Cardiovascular Biology), who was the winner of our First BCVS/ECVR Early Career Data Blitz Competition! Valeria's presentation, "Targeting GPCR-G[beta-gamma]-GRK2 Signaling in Chronic Kidney Disease and Cardiorenal Syndrome Type IV", was selected among nine outstanding talks by early career trainees from UC and CCHMC. Thanks to everyone who attended our event and a special thank you to the American Heart Association for sponsoring today's program and award!
