Simple Education essential guide - Advances in Coronary Physiology March 2016

Overview

The Advances in Coronary Physiology is the most comprehensive 5* rated course series providing the core background content required to develop a comprehensive understanding of the rationale and underlying meaning of physiological measurements widely used in the catheter laboratory. 

• Welcome and introductions Justin Davies,

• How new techniques are reshaping my clinical practice. Carlo Di Mario
• Terminology – iFR, FFR, CFR, HSR what do all the abbreviations mean? Sayan Sen  
•  iFR: principals and case examples Sukhjinder Nijjer

• How should we interpret borderline physiological lesions?  Ricardo Petraco
• Psychology of decision making in the coronary catheter laboratory  Andrew Sharp
• Implementation of physiology into my catheter lab Javier Escaned
• Physiology has missed the point.  It’s not about FFR/iFR severity but about focal or diffuse nature of the disease?  Andrew Sharp
• A blue print for coronary physiology in the 21st century Justin Davies
• Tips, tricks, and pitfalls of FFR and iFR assessment - Rasha Al-Lamee
• Can PdPa be used as a substitute for iFR/FFR?  Christopher Cook
• How does RA pressure impact physiological assessment?  Christopher Cook
• Management of tandem lesions and diffuse disease Sukhjinder Nijjer
• DEFER, FAME, FAME II – the key points?   Niels Van Royen
