Mission Statement

The South Atlantic Cardiovascular Society works to promote the advancement of current knowledge and skills in the field of cardiovascular care and to improve cardiovascular patient care.  SACS accomplishes this goal through its annual meeting, an educational symposium featuring an outstanding scientific program and offering CME credits for cardiac care professionals.  This professional association is led by a steering committee of distinguished cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons.

2009 Steering Committee

Why Attend?

From “Athletes, HOCM and Sudden Death” to “Percutaneous Options for Mitral Valve Disease”, the SACS 2009 Annual Meeting will address timely topics that are being discussed by cardiac care professionals in hospital hallways, physicians’ offices and research clinics across the country.  The unique format of this Annual Meeting allows for the latest scientific information to be presented with lively dialogue, pro/con debate and case presentations.

Whether a first-time attendee or a seasoned participant, everyone leaves the conference with an enhanced knowledge of new technologies and scientific-based strategies related to the treatment of the cardiovascular patient. 

Our informal meeting structure, combined with the recreational activities and family atmoshphere, makes the SACS Annual Meeting a favorite educational conference among cardiovascular physicians, surgeons and industry-related colleagues.  “This is the best meeting I’ve ever been to by far,” states Peter Ellman, MD, a first-time SACS Annual Meeting attendee.

"The SACS Annual Meeting offers very applicable topics, open discussions with colleagues regarding new technologies, and case presentations relative to our daily practice," states Kevin Accola, M.D. who has attended the meeting for 15 years.  "The meeting has become an annual event for my family."
