SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS

Session1: Cardiovascular Diseases
Heart and blood vessel illnesses are collectively referred to as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Among them are:
Cerebrovascular illness, which affects the blood arteries supplying the brain; coronary heart disease, which affects the blood vessels supplying the heart muscle; A condition affecting the blood vessels supplying the arms and legs is known as peripheral arterial disease; rheumatic heart disease, which is brought on by streptococcal bacteria and results in damage to the heart's muscle and valves; deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, which are blood clots in the veins of the legs that can get dislodged and travel to the heart and lungs, and congenital heart disease, which are birth defects that impair the normal growth and function of the heart due to abnormalities in the heart structure from birth.
A blockage that stops blood flow to the heart or brain is the primary cause of heart attacks and strokes, which are typically acute events. The accumulation of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the blood arteries supplying the heart or brain is the most frequent cause of this. Blood clots or hemorrhage from a brain blood artery can both result in strokes.
-
The heart and blood vessels are part of the vascular system. The tubes that carry blood from your heart to the rest of your body are called arteries, and the veins that return the blood to your heart are called veins.
-
Session 3: Cardiovascular Pharmacology
The study of how medications impact the heart and vascular system as well as the basic processes of cardiovascular cells is known as cardiovascular pharmacology. It covers studies on the causes of sudden cardiac mortality, congenital arrhythmias, and cardiac toxicity.
-
Cardiomyopathy is the term used to describe any condition that affects the heart muscle. Cardiomyopathy impairs the heart's capacity to pump blood efficiently. The cardiac beat can also be disrupted in certain situations.
-
Session 5: Clinical Cardiology
Clinical cardiology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of heart disease and circulatory system disorders.
-
Session 6: Electrocardiography
One of the quickest and easiest procedures to assess the heart is an electrocardiogram, sometimes known as an EKG or ECG. Certain locations on the arms, legs, and chest are equipped with electrodes, which are tiny, skin-sticking plastic patches. Lead wires are used to connect the electrodes to ECG equipment.
-
One subtype of arteriosclerosis is called atherosclerosis. The accumulation of lipids, cholesterol, and other materials in and on the arterial walls is known as atherosclerosis. We refer to this accumulation as plaque. Arteries may narrow due to the plaque, obstructing blood flow. Additionally, the plaque may rupture, resulting in a blood clot.
-
Session 8: Interventional Cardiology
Catheters are used in the medical profession of interventional cardiology to identify and treat heart and blood vascular disorders without the need for open heart surgery.
-
Noninvasive methods are used in nuclear cardiology research to view the magnitude and location of a heart attack, measure myocardial blood flow, and analyze the heart's pumping function. Myocardial perfusion imaging is the most popular nuclear cardiology procedure.
-
Cardio-oncology is a medical specialty that treats cardiovascular illness brought on by cancer treatments by combining cardiology and oncology.
-
Session 11: Paediatric Cardiology
The medical specialty of pediatric cardiology is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac disorders in children. Congenital heart defects, arrhythmias, acquired heart disorders such as rheumatic cardiologists treat. fever and Kawasaki disease, myocarditis, and high cholesterol are among the ailments that pediatric.
-
Session 12: Heart Transplantation
A heart transplant is a medical operation in which a donor heart is used to replace the damaged heart of the patient. When other therapies have failed, it is used to treat individuals with severe coronary artery disease or progressive heart failure.
-
Either an ischemic stroke, which is caused by a blockage by a blood clot, or a hemorrhagic stroke, which is caused by a rupture of a blood vessel and bleeding. Blockage of the major blood arteries supplying blood to the arms and legs is known as peripheral vascular disease.
-
A common illness called hypertension, or high blood pressure, occurs when the force of blood in your arteries is continuously too high. If untreated, it can be harmful and result in major health issues like kidney failure, heart attacks, and strokes.
-
Session 15: Congenital heart disease
Heart structural issues are known as congenital heart defects (CHDs). "Congenital" refers to issues that exist from birth. When a baby's heart doesn't develop normally during pregnancy, several abnormalities occur. The most prevalent kind of birth defect is a congenital heart problem.
-
Session 16: Sports in Cardiology
A new subspecialty of cardiology is sports cardiology. It can also be seen as a specialism of sports medicine (or sport and exercise medicine), or as a hybrid subspecialty that combines sports medicine and cardiology -
Session 17: Cardiovascular Surgery
By implanting devices like pacemakers, dual chamber devices for atrioventricular blocks, defibrillators for ventricular arrhythmia, and cardiac synchronization therapy for advanced heart failure, cardiac surgery helps cure a variety of cardiac rhythm abnormalities.
-
One typical test is an echocardiography. It uses ultrasound, a form of X-ray, to provide an image of your heart. A probe is placed on your chest or down your throat, or oesophagus. It assists your physician in determining how well your heart pumps blood and determining whether there are any issues with the valves and chambers.
-
Session 19: Advances in Cardiovascular Imaging
Cardiovascular imaging, sometimes referred to as cardiac imaging, is a minimally invasive procedure that takes images of the heart and blood vessels using a variety of imaging technologies. These pictures assist medical professionals in identifying and treating heart conditions as well as directing invasive operations.
-
Cardiology's use of artificial intelligence (AI) is a quickly developing discipline that has the potential to enhance patient care, diagnosis, and therapy. Cardiologists can benefit from AI by:
· Measurement automation: AI can improve image quality and automate measurements.
· AI is capable of identifying conditions such as cardiomyopathies, decreased ejection fraction, and valvular heart disease.
Data analysis: AI is capable of analyzing intricate data to assist medical professionals in making precise forecasts -
Session 21: Advancements in Cardiology
The treatment of people at risk for thrombosis has also improved thanks to new-generation anticoagulants and antiplatelet medicines. Additionally, surgeons can now treat artery blockages without open surgery because to advancements in percutaneous techniques like angioplasty and stenting.
-
Session 22: Clinical Case Reports on Cardiology
A case report is a thorough account of a single patient's symptoms, indicators, diagnosis, course of therapy, and follow-up. Since case reports typically detail an uncommon or unique event, they continue to be a vital component of medical advancement and a source of numerous fresh concepts.
