This August, Boston will host one of the most influential gatherings in cardiovascular medicine as the American Society for Preventive Cardiology (ASPC) convenes its 2025 Congress on Cardiovascular Disease Prevention. Set for 1–3 August 2025 at the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport, Boston, MA, USA, the meeting will bring together global experts, showcase cutting-edge research, and feature more than 200 abstract posters.
A major highlight is the debut of the ASPC Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Training Academy, a new pre-conference course designed to equip early-career clinicians with core skills in preventive cardiology—part of ASPC’s growing investment in future leaders.
This year’s Scientific Sessions will include spirited debates on key controversies—from blood pressure targets to the use of colchicine—and a spotlight on advances in lipoprotein(a) management through a transatlantic collaboration with the European Atherosclerosis Society. ASPC will also honour three pioneers in prevention: Drs Helen Hobbs, Harmony Reynolds and Roger Blumenthal.
With record attendance expected and a packed agenda, ASPC 2025 is poised to shape the next chapter in prevention. In this Q&A, we spoke with the ASPC Executive Director Stacy Manthos about what makes this year’s meeting especially significant—and what it means for the future of heart health.
What key elements of the ASPC 2025 Congress program make it a must-attend event for those working in the field of cardiovascular disease?
