Deepak L. Bhatt, MD

Antiplatelet Therapy in the Catheterization Laboratory

Webcast
An international expert faculty, chaired by Deepak L. Bhatt, MD of Harvard Medical School and Shamir Mehta, MD, of McMaster University, discuss the science and mechanisms of antiplatelet therapy, offering a unique, informed, and balanced perspective on rapidly evolving dimensions and controversies about antiplatelet management in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Drawing on late-breaking trials, this program presents new and critically important data from the latest investigations—trials which, already, are having a decisive impact on the way interventional cardiologists should analyze, risk stratify, and manage patients requiring oral agents for invasive management of acute, ischemic heart disease.

Landmark Practice Advances in STEMI and ACS: New Advances in Mortality Reduction for STEMI and High Risk ACS -- What do Recent Landmark Trials Teach Us?

Webcast
Participants in this CME-certified WebCAST will learn how recently issued ESC and AHA/ACC guidelines for UA/Non ST-elevation myocardial infarction and STEMI are best applied to appropriately risk-stratified patients with UA/NSTEMI and STEMI. Participants will also learn to understand the implications of recent clinical data, trials, and recommendations on upstream management of STEMI and NSTEMI, and to apply guidelines and expert, consensus-based recommendations in order to optimize invasive vascular management of patients with high risk ACS.
