This peer-to-peer series is dedicated to evaluating microvascular dysfunction following myocardial infarction – an important cause of mortality and morbidity post primary-PCI.
Although epicardial coronary blood flow is restored after almost all PCI procedures, perfusion of the coronary microvasculature is not fully restored in approximately half of patients. In this series of bitesize interviews, Prof Gregg Stone (Professor of Medicine, Professor of Population Health Sciences and Policy, and Director of Academic Affairs, Mount Sinai) examines this unmet need with help from a celebrated faculty of experts. Together, they will be covering everything from pathophysiology of microvascular dysfunction to current approaches to restoring microvascular perfusion post primary-PCI.
These shorter videos are ideal for those who are time-poor, or prefer to consume their education in short chunks. Don’t miss this unique overview from some of the world’s leading experts.
