Washington, District of Columbia
http://www.crtmeeting.org/default.aspx

Cardiovascular Research Technologies (CRT) 2013 will take place from February 23 - 26, 2013 in Washington DC. This year’s conference will be the most comprehensive to date. CRT 2013 has many new and exciting features, including a new, cutting-edge Valve & Structural Heart track, in addition to its standard five subject areas -- Coronary, Endovascular, Science, Technology and Nurse & Tech. Also new this year will be the Essentials of Clinical Research course as well as more exciting hands-on workshops and simulations.
