Make Life-Saving Decisions at Every Stage
When medication isn’t enough to manage advanced heart failure or cardiogenic shock, mechanical circulatory support becomes a critical lifeline. At the Hands-On Training Day, you will explore core principles of hemodynamic support, analyze real-world case scenarios with expert insight, apply advanced techniques through hands-on training, and enhance your impact on patient outcomes.
Don’t wait! Understand the full spectrum of temporary and durable devices and strategies. Gain hands-on experience with controllers — and master when and how to deploy them — and troubleshooting to achieve optimal clinical outcomes.
What To Expect
Detailed program to be provided in January.
Expert-led didactics on the fundamentals of hemodynamic support, focused on the latest MCS indications, devices, and deployment strategies.
Real-world case reviews encompassing the full range of MCS scenarios, including shock, pulmonary compromise, and device troubleshooting.
Hands-on training in clinical scenarios tackling a range of case-based challenges with IABP, IMPELLA devices, ECMO, durable LVADs, total artificial hearts, and the Harvi patient simulator.
