Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardio Vascular Diseases (CVDs) are a broad range of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias. These conditions are often associated with risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and hyperlipidemia. This track will cover the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and the latest advances in the prevention and management of CVDs.
Coronary Angioplasty
Coronary Angioplasty is a procedure used to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. It involves the use of a balloon catheter to dilate the vessel and restore blood flow to the heart muscle. This track will discuss indications, techniques, and recent advancements in angioplasty, as well as patient outcomes.
Stent Implantation
Stent Implantation is often performed in conjunction with angioplasty to keep the artery open after balloon dilation. This track will focus on the different types of stents, including bare-metal and drug-eluting stents, their indications, complications, and the latest innovations in stent technology.
Percutaneous Coronary Interventions
Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (PCIs) encompass a range of procedures used to treat coronary artery disease. This track will explore various PCI techniques, including angioplasty, stent placement, and the role of imaging guidance in improving outcomes.
Structural Heart Interventions
Structural Heart Interventions involve repairing or replacing abnormal heart valves or correcting congenital heart defects without open-heart surgery. This track will cover techniques such as Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), mitral valve repair, and the treatment of atrial septal defects.
Catheter-based Therapies
Catheter-based therapies are minimally invasive procedures used to treat various cardiac conditions through catheter insertion. This track will delve into the latest catheter-based approaches for treating arrhythmias, valve diseases, and other cardiovascular disorders.
Imaging and Diagnostic Techniques
Accurate imaging and diagnostic techniques are vital for the effective management of cardiovascular diseases. This track will review advanced imaging modalities such as Intra Vascular Ultra Sound (IVUS), Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), and cardiac MRI, as well as their role in diagnosis and treatment planning.
Pharmacological Interventions
Pharmacological interventions involve the use of medications to manage cardiovascular diseases. This track will discuss the role of antiplatelet agents, anticoagulants, statins, and other drugs in the treatment of coronary artery disease, heart failure, and hypertension.
Complications and their Management
Complications can arise from cardiovascular procedures and diseases, affecting patient outcomes. This track will address common and rare complications, including bleeding, restenosis, and myocardial infarction, and will discover strategies for their prevention and management.
Emerging Technologies in Interventional Cardiology
Emerging technologies are continuously shaping the area of Interventional Cardiology. This track will highlight cutting-edge innovations such as novel stent designs, advanced imaging techniques, and robotic-assisted procedures, discussing their potential impact on patient care.
