Define best practices in management of shock and the optimal timing and utilization of percutaneous circulatory assist device including counter-pulsation, left ventricular, right ventricular, or biventricular support device for different shock cases.
-
Identify cardiogenic shock research priorities, to conduct clinical trials, and to create large population-based registries to generate quality improvement opportunities.
-
Discuss current clinical evidence on management of post LVAD and transplant shock and outline best practices of high-volume centers from a surgical and medical perspective.
-
Describe the kinetics of cardiogenic shock and patient-device interaction as well as non-device therapeutic options for treatment including hypothermia, revascularization, and inotropes.
-
Describe the impact of pulmonary embolism (PE) and therapies available for hemodynamically unstable PE, including mechanical circulatory support device therapy for stabilization.
-
Review management strategies for the critically ill in medical ICU, such as ARDS management
-
Discuss current and future therapies for valvular heart disease.
