Simple Education essential guides Coronary Physiology and Intracoronary Imaging Co-Registration is the premier international course in co-registration. This is the first course specialising in coronary co-registration, and builds on the 6 years of courses which have been run and quickly established as the premier global interventional course in state-of-the-art coronary physiology and intracoronary imaging. The course provides all you need to know to understand coronary physiology from learning the background basics of coronary physiology and imaging to understanding the clinical trial data and implementation of co-registration  in the catheter laboratory. 

An online teaching resource, the Simple Education application, will give you access to video content from the days' talks, and a raft of other online educational and learning resources which continue your learning experience and  connect you with the interventional community after the course finishes.

FACULTY:

Dr Justin Davies

Dr Justin Davies is a consultant 
interventional cardiologist at Hammersmith Hospital, Imperial College NHS Trust, London. After training at Imperial 
College, he won a prestigious BHF research fellowship to study arterial haemodynamics. Since then he has continued to
 work on the development of mathematical algorithms to aid 
understanding of large artery physiology and to develop new
 tools to assess arterial disease. The holder of several patents,
 he has published widely in the field of hypertension, coronary and large artery physiology and is the winner of many national and international awards. He has several international collaborations, and is the developer of iFR and the co-principal investigator of the ADVISE studies, the DEFINE-FLAIR, ORBITA and DEFINE-PCI studies. Justin also has an interest in renal denervation, and has lead the first-in-man studies to evaluate the safety of this technique to patients with chronic systolic heart failure (REACH studies). 




Dr Javier EscanedProf Javier Escaned is Consultant Interventional Cardiologist / Associate Professor and Head of Section, Cardiology Department, Hospital Clinico San Carlos (Madrid, Spain). He trained as a cardiologist the United Kingdom (Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Birmingham and Walsgrave Hospital, Coventry) before moving to the Thoraxcenter / Rotterdam (The Netherlands), where he obtained his PhD degree in 1994. Author of more than 200 scientific articles, books and book chapters on different aspects of interventional cardiology, imaging and physiology, his latest contribution is the textbook “Coronary Stenosis. Imaging, Structure and Physiology”, co-edited with Patrick W Serruys. He is currently co-director or EuroPCR. Some of his additional interests are philosophy, education and music.




Dr Sayan Sen

Prof Carlo Di Mario is currently Professor of Cardiology,
University of Florence and Director of the Structural
Interventional Cardiology Division of the University Hospital
Careggi, Florence, Italy. Previous posts included 15 years as
Professor of Clinical Cardiology at Imperial College of Sciences,
Medicine & Technology, London and Consultant Cardiologist at
the Royal Brompton Hospital. He also practiced at the San
Raffaele Hospital, Milan, Italy. He trained in Cardiology at the
University of Padova, Italy, but he soon moved for a more in-depth interventional trying at the Thoraxcentre of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, where he also completed a PhD in Intracoronary Ultrasound Imaging and Doppler. He maintains an active clinical involvement performing more than 200 PCI per year in the last 15 years in London with the special interest in the treatment of chronic total occlusions, bifurcations, calcified lesions and diffuse disease. He is a regular TAVI operator and certified implanter for the Medtronic Evolute R and Edwards Sapien 3 transcatheter aortic valves. He participated in more than 130 MitraClip implantations in London and in the last few months back in Italy has also started transcatheter mitral treatments with clips, valves and direct annuloplasty. Professor Di Mario pioneered the use of intracoronary Doppler, pressure measurement, ultrasound and optical coherence tomography. These techniques have become the gold standard for physiological assessment of lesion severity and have revolutionised the technique of stent implantation with the use of high pressure dilatation which led to the universal application of this method in interventional cardiology. He is now applying these intravascular techniques for the guidance of implantation of fully bioabsorbable stents and optimal stent apposition across bifurcations and in complex lesions. He has led or participated in studies and trials to improve the technical success of recanalisation of chronic total occlusion and demonstrate its clinical usefulness. He cooperated with Dr Davies to the validation of iFR to assess lesion severity and discriminate the contribution of individual lesions, and with Dr Lyon in the intracoronary delivery of SERCA-2 genes via adenoviral vectors in the CUPID2 trial. He was Principal Investigator of the CARESS in AMI trial, a large multicentre trial showing that patients who receive fibrinolytic therapy for ST-elevation myocardial infarction benefit from early angioplasty. This trial and a subsequent meta-analysis have led to a change in the European Society of Cardiology and AHA/ACC Guidelines for treatment of STEMI patients. He is the PI and main recruiter of the Disrupt-CAD study with coronary lithotripsy delivered via dedicated balloons, due to be reported at ACC March 2017. 




Dr Rasha Al-Lamee

Dr Andrew Sharp qualified from Edinburgh Medical School in 1998 and was appointed as a Consultant Cardiologist at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital in 2011. He was appointed Honorary Associate Professor at the University of Exeter in 2018.

He conducted his early training at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, before moving to London for his senior clinical training. He completed the prestigious Milan-Imperial Interventional Cardiology Fellowship programme, having spent a year in San Raffaele and Columbus Hospitals, Milan, Italy, under the tutelage of Professor Antonio Colombo. He also spent three years training in interventional cardiology at St Mary’s Hospital and The Hammersmith Hospital (Imperial College Hospitals) in London.

Professor Sharp was awarded an MD postgraduate research degree from the University of Edinburgh for his work on the hypertensive heart and now leads a large research programme at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital. He has been Principal Investigator in more than 30 ethically-approved research trials since 2012 and has published extensively. He is regularly invited to lecture at national and international conferences in the fields of coronary artery disease, pulmonary embolism and hypertension.
