	Introduction

 
At the recent American Heart Association 68th Scientific Sessions in Anaheim, California, November 13 to 16, 1995, the Scientific Councils' distinguished lectureships, awards, and Young Investigator competitions continued their annual tradition of excellence, illustrating the summit of clinical and basic science research in cardiovascular medicine.

The Louis N. Katz Basic Science Research Prize for Young Investigators, sponsored by the Council on Basic Science, was renamed this year in honor of both Louis N. and Arnold M. Katz, highlighting the continuity between generations of cardiovascular investigators through recognition of this remarkable father-son pair. Finalists for the award were Michael Kalafatis, University of Vermont, Burlington, for "A Biochemical Mechanism for Familial Thrombosis"; Jun-ichi Sadoshima (winner), University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, for "The Heteromeric G_q Protein–Coupled Angiotensin II Receptor Activates p21_ras via the Src Family Tyrosine Kinase–Shc-Grb2-Sos Pathway in Cardiac Myocytes"; Margaret Schwarz, Columbia University, New York, NY, for "Endothelial-Monocyte Activating Polypeptide (EMAP) II, a Novel Antiangiogenic Protein, Suppresses Tumor Growth and Induces Apoptosis in Growing Endothelial Cells"; Didier Y.R. Stainier, University of California, San Francisco, for "cloche, a Zebrafish Gene Required for Endocardial Cell Formation"; and Henry M. Sucov, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, for "Outflow Tract and Aortic Arch Malformations in Retinoic Acid Receptor Double-Mutant Embryos Implicate a Defect in the Differentiation of the Cardiac Neural Crest."

Finalists chosen for the Council on Cardiovascular Nursing New Investigator Award were Lynn V. Doering, Schools of Nursing and Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, for "Hemodynamic Adaptation to Orthostatic Stress . . . [Full Text of this Article]
