Overview

During EuroPCR 2015 (FR), Radcliffe Cardiology, in association with the Interventional Cardiology Review journal, filmed a roundtable discussion focusing on the topical area of  'Coronary Physiology'.

The discussion was moderated by Editor-in-Chief, Simon Kennon (London, UK). He was joined by expert group of physicians including Prof Stephan Achenbach (Erlangen, DE), Drs Sergio Bravo Baptista (Amadora, PT), Matthias Gotberg (Lund, SE), Divaka Perera (London, UK), Andrew Sharp (Exeter, UK) and Prof Eric Van Belle (Lille, FR).

The meeting comprised of three panel discussions on a range of topical issues related to all aspects of coronary physiology from the clinical trial and registry data, current performance and utilisation, through to emerging technological advances and future use of physiological assessment.

This educational activity is intended for an international audience, specifically interventional cardiologists and cardiologists. However, other healthcare professionals involved in the care of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients will also find this topical.

Learning Objectives

The assigned learning objectives for this roundtable are listed for your information:

  • To review the real-world utilisation and performance of coronary physiology assessment
  • To consider recent and emerging data on coronary physiology assessment technology in particular in non-culprit disease, and in the setting of a diagnostic catheterization
  • To discuss on-going coronary physiology assessment research
  • To identify and refine the indications for utilisation of coronary physiology assessment in particular in non-culprit ACS, and diagnostic catheterizations
  • To establish the nature of future coronary physiology research and technology developments
