About Us | Interventional Cardiology Conference

Longdom Conferences extends our immense pleasure and honored to invite you to attend the “5th International Conference on Interventional Cardiology and Heart Failure” scheduled on October 17-18, 2022 in Miami, USA. It is focusing on the theme “Stimulating Excellence in Cardiology" to enhance and explore knowledge among academics and industry personnel dealing with cardiovascular disease, interventional cardiology, heart failure, srtuctural heart diseases and its related subjects. Our conference agenda is to provide the right stage to present stimulating keynote talks, oral sessions, poster presentations, video presentations.

Scientific Sessions:

1.Interventional Cardiology and Endovascular Interventions:

Interventional Cardiology:
Interventional cardiology can be defined as an area of medicine within the subspecialty of cardiology that uses specialized imaging and other diagnostic techniques to evaluate blood flow and pressure in the coronary arteries and chambers of the heart, as well as technical procedures and medications to treat abnormalities that impair the function of the cardiovascular system. It deals specifically with the catheter-based treatment of heart diseases.

Endovascular Interventions:
Endovascular surgery is an innovative, less invasive procedure used to treat problems affecting the blood vessels, such as an aneurysm, which is a swelling or "ballooning" of the blood vessel. The surgery involves making a small incision near each hip to access the blood vessels. An endovascular graft, which is a special fabric tube device framed with stainless steel self-expanding stents, is inserted through the arteries in a catheter, a long, narrow flexible tube, and positioned inside the aorta.

2.Pediatric Cardiology:
Pediatric cardiology deals with diseases of the heart in the growing and developing individual. As well as expertise in heart disease, pediatric cardiologists also need thorough training in general paediatrics, in order to provide all-round patient care. The initial valuation performed by the paediatric cardiologist might start with a physical examination using a stethoscope, after which more detailed investigations may be suggested.

3.Structural Heart Disease:
Structural heart disease also, known as the problem with the tissues or valves of the heart and most of the structural heart diseases are genetic, which means present at birth. Some structural heart disease will develop later in life. There are many kinds of structural heart diseases, but they all involve a defect or disorder in the structure of the heart tissue or valves. Heart conditions that fall in the category of structural heart disease include, aortic valve stenosis, atrial septal defect and patent foramen ovale, heart valve disease, mitral valve regurgitation, left ventricular hypertrophy, cardiomyopathy, marfan syndrome and myocarditis etc.

4. Preventive Cardiology:
Preventive cardiology is the knowledge related to the prevention of cardiovascular disease, either its manifestation or its progression with the aim to avert life-threatening cardiovascular events and to reduce cardiac mortality. Preventive cardiology also calls for a different approach to our patients: it aims to influence the underlying systemic disease process of atherosclerosis, of which the acute events are just short manifestations. It focuses on the improvement of long term outcome rather than acute symptomatic relief and may have a greater impact on patient longevity than sophisticated interventions.

5.Cardiac-Sonography or Echocardiography :
Cardiac-sonography or echocardiography is the use of ultrasound to examine the heart's chambers, walls, valves and vessels. Mostly use of technology such as sophisticated diagnostic ultrasound imaging machines and transducers that use high-frequency sound waves to produce dynamic visual images to complete important tasks, such as:Acquiring information related to the heart's anatomy and physiology

Producing real-time images of cardiac structures to assist the physician in diagnosing cardiovascular disease
Evaluating acquired and congenital cardiac abnormalities and associated complications
Evaluating narrowed or leaking heart valves
Looking for causes of murmurs, chest pain, shortness of breath
Tracking and evaluating chronic heart conditions

6.Heart Failure and Cardiomyopathy :
Heart Failure:
Heart Failure inability of the heart to keep up with the demands on it and, specifically, failure of the heart to pump blood with normal efficiency. When this occurs, the heart is unable to provide adequate blood flow to other organs such as the brain, liver and kidneys. Heart failure may be due to failure of the right or left or both ventricles. The signs and symptoms depend upon which side of the heart is failing. They can include shortness of breath (dyspnea), asthma due to the heart (cardiac asthma), pooling of blood (stasis) in the general body (systemic) circulation or in the liver's (portal) circulation, swelling (edema), blueness or duskiness (cyanosis), and enlargement (hypertrophy) of the heart.

Cardiomyopathy:
Cardiomyopathy refers to diseases of the heart muscle. These diseases have many causes, signs and symptoms as well as treatments. In most cases, cardiomyopathy causes the heart muscle to become enlarged, thick or rigid. In rare instances, diseased heart muscle tissue is replaced with scar tissue.

7.Women and Heart Disease :
The term heart disease refers to several types of heart conditions, including coronary artery disease and heart attack. Although heart disease is sometimes thought of as a man’s disease, almost as many women as men die each year of heart disease in the United States.

Despite increases in awareness over the past decades, only about half (56%) of women recognize that heart disease is their number 1 killer.

Learn more facts about women and heart disease:

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States, killing 299,578 women in 2017—or about 1 in every 5 female deaths.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for African American and white women in the United States. Among American Indian and Alaska Native women, heart disease and cancer cause roughly the same number of deaths each year. For Hispanic and Asian or Pacific Islander women, heart disease is second only to cancer as a cause of death.

About 1 in 16 women age 20 and older (6.2%) have coronary heart disease, the most common type of heart disease:4

About 1 in 16 white women (6.1%), black women (6.5%), and Hispanic women (6%)
About 1 in 30 Asian women (3.2%)

8.Cardiac Surgery and Heart Transplantation :
Cardiac Surgery:
A surgical procedure that is performed to resolve a health concern related to the heart is called a heart surgery or a heart operation. Heart surgery may involve:

Correcting damage in the heart, either congenital (such as a hole in the heart) or acquired
Repairing heart valves that control the flow of blood to and from the heart and maintain blood pressure
A procedure to implant a device in the heart such as a stent to stabilize and normalize heart function is a more common cardiac surgery
A heart transplant where a healthy heart from a donor replaces a damaged heart in a recipient

Heart Transplantation:
Heart transplantation is a surgery to remove the diseased heart from a person and replace it with a healthy one from an organ donor. To remove the heart from the donor, two or more healthcare providers must declare the donor brain-dead. Before you can be put on a waiting list for a heart transplant, a healthcare provider makes the decision that this is the best treatment choice for your heart failure. A healthcare team also makes sure that you are healthy enough to go through the transplant process.

9.Cardiovascular and Emergency Medicine :
Cardiovascular Medicine:
Cardiovascular medicine is the most comprehensive provider of cardiovascular services specializing in the prevention, detection, management and treatment of adult cardiovascular diseases. It is also a platform for postgraduate education and scientific work in the fields of cardiology, angiology, hypertension and cardiac and vascular surgery.

Emergency Medicine:
Emergency medicine, also known as accident and emergency medicine, is the medical speciality concerned with the care of illnesses or injuries requiring immediate medical attention. Emergency physicians care for unscheduled and undifferentiated patients of all ages.

10.Hypertension and Obesity:
Hypertension:
Hypertension is a major condition that significantly increases the risks of heart, brain, kidney and other diseases. Blood pressure is determined both by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries.

Obesity:
Obesity is a disease including an excessive amount of body fat. Obesity is a health problem that increases risk of other diseases and health problems like heart disease, high blood pressure, certain cancers, and diabetes.

Causes of Obesity:

Physical inactivity
Overeating
Genetics
A diet high in simple carbohydrates
Frequency of eating
Medications
Psychological factors
Diseases like hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, polycystic ovary syndrome, and Cushing's syndrome also contribute to obesity
