- [Female Speaker] Welcome to Philadelphia
and to the American
Heart Association's 92nd
Annual Scientific Sessions;
where the birthplace
of American medicine
meets the premier assembly
of the influencers in
Cardiovascular Science and Medicine.
(music)
- [Robert] These days are
filled with discussions
about ways to expand our
individual areas of science.
And, how new ideas might contribute to the
evidence we generate.
(music)
- [Robert] This is the most
exciting time ever to be
engaged in Science; in it's
application to clinical medicine
and public policy.
(music)
- [Robert] What makes our
opportunity so spectacular
is that we have unprecedented
ways to gather data
and generate insights
at a scaling speed our
predecessors dreamed about.
Together,
we will provide the curiosity to raise the
right questions.
The passion to find the answers.
The willingness to
publish and speak truth to
decision makers.
And we'll do it all
through an equity lens.
In all aspects of preventing
and treating cardiovascular
disease and stroke; and all
nations around the globe,
we must prioritize gathering
the highest quality evidence.
And we must rely on that
evidence, with the decisions
that we make.
A world of longer,
healthier lives will be the
ultimate evidence of our success.
