Something new, something old would be the best way to characterize the 2012 Basic Cardiovascular Sciences (BCVS) meeting. The conference entitled “Frontiers in Cardiovascular Science and Novel Therapy” highlighted the top scientific and translational discoveries in cardiovascular research in 15 major scientific sessions. The field’s leading pioneers presented alongside junior investigators, invigorating the investigative conversation that keeps cardiac research moving forward. Two luminaries of cardiology delivered the conference’s keynote addresses: Drs Eugene Braunwald and Valentin Fuster.Dr Braunwald delivered a retrospective that illustrated the great advances in cardiology in the past 50 years. It was of course thrilling to hear about the discoveries and novel treatment modalities of modern cardiology from the man responsible for so much of it. Dr Fuster described the journey he took from examining pathological specimens of patients after myocardial infarction to the characterization of the vulnerable plaque. Dr Fuster went on to describe his recent emphasis on global health and delivering good cardiovascular health at a universal level.
