Abstracts are accepted exclusively through your personal mySHVM2026 area, which you can access after you have set up an account. Please note that payment of your registration fee is required before you can submit an abstract.

The abstract submission deadline is 3 July 2026. The Scientific Committee will then review the received abstracts for inclusion in the scientific programme in one of the following formats:

• Short oral communications
  Selected abstracts will be presented during specific symposia as deemed appropriate by the organising committee.
• Poster presentations
  Posters will be displayed throughout the meeting, with ample opportunity for presentation and discussion.

Abstract format

• The title must start in uppercase and continue in lowercase, except for conventional terms (ATP, DNA, NFκB, etc). Example:
     This title is written correctly
     This Title is Not Properly Written
     ALSO THIS TITLE IS WRONG
• If more than one author, underline your name (the presenting author, in whatever position you appear in the author list) and use commas to separate the names; do not use 'and' before the last author. The presenting author's first name(s) and surname should be written in full; for all other authors, write first name(s) as initials and surname in full. If more than one affiliation, use sequential superscript numbers to identify each institution. Example:
     Mario Rossi¹, J. Doe², F. Bloggs^{1,2
     1}Dept Biomembranes, Golgi & Veratti Univ., Pavia, Italy
     ²Dept Bioblast Analyses, Altmann Univ., Leipzig, Germany
• The abstract text must be no longer than 2000 characters, spaces included. The text should include the following sections: Rationale, Objective, Methods, Results, Conclusion.

"William C. Stanley" Early Investigator Award

The "William C. Stanley" Early Investigator Award (EIA) highlights the scientific accomplishments of promising young researchers and is a major focus of the Annual Meeting of the Society for Heart and Vascular Metabolism.

As in previous years, entrants for the EIA competition should be either students or postdoctoral fellows (with less than 6 years post qualification experience). Previous winners of the "William C. Stanley" Early Investigator Award (or its precursor, termed "Early Investigator Commendation") are also not eligible for this competition.

Eligible candidates for the EIA competition must submit a 1-min video supporting their abstract, which can be uploaded via your mySHVM2026 area. The organisers will automatically select videos/abstracts submitted by eligible junior participants and enter them into this year's EIA competition.

The organisers will select four winners for the EIA, based on the abstract and the 1-minute video submitted by eligible candidates. For each winner, the registration fee will be waived/reimbursed and a personal check of 250 USD will be issued. The winners will present their work in a dedicated session (see the Programme, Tuesday 27 October).

Poster prizes

The organisers will select three winners (students/trainees) from the two poster sessions. This award, in honour of Gary D. Lopaschuk, is aimed at promoting early career scientists.

There will also be awards from the following journals: Springer, American Journal of Physiology: Heart and Circulatory Physiology, Nature Review Cardiology, JMCC.

Language

English is the official language for the meeting.

Accommodation for all SHVM participants will be at RIHGA Royal Hotel (5-3-68 Nakanoshima, Kita-ku, Osaka 530-0005, Japan). Payment for your accommodation is not included in the participation fee: you will be responsible for booking your room directly.

Unfortunately, there is an increasing number of fraudulent websites and email promotions claiming to offer registration and accommodation services. Please be advised that payment for your SHVM 2026 attendance can only be processed through this website, within your personal mySHVM2026 area, after you sign up for an account. Also, the SHVM 2026 Organisers have secured preferential rates only with the hotel mentioned above (using the method indicated) and are in no way responsible for arrangements that you make. Please be aware of possible scams.

The SHVM NCVC Satellite Symposium on 30 October is open to all SHVM 2026 participants. You may sign up during your registration for the SHVM meeting.
