Learn About Acute Coronary Syndromes on Webcast. Learners should expect to learn the underlying pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes, updated recommendations on recognition and management of acute coronary syndrome, and the management of cardiogenic shock after acute coronary syndrome.
In 1961, Desmond Julian first described what was is how called a “Coronary Care Unit”. He recommended clustering acute coronary syndrome patients together where they could be monitored by continuous EKG, had medications and defibrillators close by and perhaps most importantly had trained nursing care available to quickly recognize arrhythmias and treat them with CPR and defibrillation. This system cut early mortality in half.
The latter half of the 20th century also saw huge leaps in acute coronary care with the invention of fibrinolytics and then cardiac angioplasty and stents. For this program, we’ve invited one of Ohio State University’s Cardiology experts to teach us about the modern epidemiology, spectrum of disease and treatment of acute coronary syndromes. We’re pleased to introduce Assistant Professor and interventional cardiologist Dr. Ellen Liu.
As a result of this educational activity, webcast participants will be able to:
- Review the epidemiology and underlying pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes
- Discuss the updated recommendations on evaluation as well as medical and invasive management of acute coronary syndrome
You’ll also learn about the following:
- Risk Factors
- Prognosis
- Atypical Symptoms
- Initial Workup
- Platelet Inhibitors
- Thrombolytics
- Lipids
- Cardiac Rehabilitation
