Abstract

This summary article provides an update on novel clinical trials in the field of cardiovascular medicine which were presented at the annual meeting of the European Cardiac Society, held in Munich, Germany, in August 2012. The data were presented by leading experts in the field with relevant positions in the trials and registries. Unpublished reports should be considered as preliminary data as the analysis may change in the final publications. This article provides the reader with comprehensive summaries of the most recent diagnostic and therapeutic developments in cardiovascular medicine as previously reported (Walenta et al. in Clin Res Cardiol 100:955–971, 2011; Schirmer et al. in Clin Res Cardiol 98:691–699, 2009).
