Learning objectives

After watching this webinar, participants will be able to:

• analyse the latest clinical trial data on mechanical circulatory support (MCS) and its implications for management of cardiogenic shock;
• evaluate device selection and timing to choose the most appropriate MCS devices and determine the optimal timing for cardiogenic shock intervention based on the latest evidence;
• explore patient stratification and MCS outcomes taking account of patient-specific factors including high-risk populations; and
• identify real-world challenges and solutions in the implementation of MCS, including cost, access, institutional barriers, and multidisciplinary collaboration.

Needs assessment and expected educational outcome

To identify the underlying cause behind the high mortality rate of cardiogenic shock and to look at the latest evidence in support of MCS used in conjunction with novel biomarkers and AI to personalise patient treatment. 

Main topic:

• Acute Cardiac Care - Cardiogenic Shock
