The mission of the American Physiological Society (APS) Cardiovascular (CV) Section is to further the cardiovascular physiology research discipline by vigorously supporting and promoting our scientific programming at the American Physiology Summit, encouraging the activities of our younger members and recognizing the achievements of our members with an active awards program.

"At times it can be difficult to navigate where your work should be presented or what meeting you should attend to stay on top of the latest and greatest science. I can say without a doubt that APS is my scientific home. It feels great to walk around the APS Summit meeting and realize you are right where you should be."
