SCAI SHOCK: Treating the Spectrum of Cardiogenic Shock
SCAI SHOCK: Treating the Spectrum of Cardiogenic Shock aims to provide a comprehensive review of the definition, diagnosis, and management of cardiogenic shock across the spectrum of care, including different etiologies of shock and various presentation settings from the emergency room to cath lab, community hospital to a large academic center. An overview of shock initiatives, the spectrum of shock, and systems of care will be provided.
The course includes case-based presentations, novel treatment algorithms, the growing basic and clinical science, and active audience participation with hands-on labs. Management of shock is a rapidly evolving area of high interest to interventional cardiologists and the rest of the shock team, including emergency medicine, critical care, pulmonary, heart failure and surgical colleagues, not only for its ongoing high mortality and relationship to STEMI, but also for the novel technology, public reporting, and physician scorecard aspects. (Open to all learners.)
