Scientific Sessions

Session 01: Cardiac Stem-Cell Therapy

Cardiac Stem cell Therapy is an innovative approach for the treatment of damaged heart tissues. In Cardiac stem Cell therapy, The derived cells are intramyocardially applied to the damaged target tissue in order to replace and regenerate them. Within Few months, the myocardial cells are impacted by the stem cells and thereby improve the contractility of the affected segments. Consequently, this brings a patient’s ejection fraction to normal levels. This Therapy is Highly potential especially in tackling Myocardial Infarction(MI) and Congestive Heart Failure(CHF).

Session 05: Adult Congenital Heart Disease

Congenital Heart Disease is the type of disease which occur before birth due to the defect in the structure of heart or blood vessels. Most of the Congenital heart diseases are structural defects that may be holes or leaky valves, Problems with heart valves and Issues with heart muscle. The Symptoms in Adult with Congenital Heart diseases include Shortness of Breath, Problem with Exercise. Congenital Heart diseases can be treated with Medications, Surgery or invasive procedures. Some mild CHD do not require any treatment. Adults with Congenital Heart diseases must take precautions to prevent endocarditis and should be monitored by a Congenital Heart specialist.

Session 06: Advancements in Cardiology

Cardiology is one of the most significant Field of medicine and the advancements in such fields have to be encouraged. Cardiac Rehabilitation is one of such advancements and it involves adopting healthy lifestyle inorder to escape from the risk factors for Cardiovascular disease. Exercises, training, Counselling and promoting education in order to reduce the intake of medicines to treat heart problems are the programs involved in Cardiac Rehabilitation. Cardiac Resychronization Therapy can be applied for Heart Failure Patients which assist in improving the Rhythm of heart and other symptoms of Arrhythmia.

Session 07: Heart Disorders

Generally the Heart diseases are classified into three basic categories. They are Electrical,Circulatory and Structural disorders. Electrical Disorders are caused due to the abnormalities in the electrical system that regulates heartbeat. Circulatory Disorders are usually the disorders associated with Blood vessels and mostly they are preventative. Structural Disorders are due to the problems in the development of valves, heart muscle which are present right from Birth. Causes of these Cardiac Diseases are age, Genetics, High Blood pressure, High LDL level, Obesity, Smoking, Stress etc.

Session 08: Valve Replacement Techniques

The valves found in the heart includes the mitral valve, tricuspid valve, pulmonary valve and aortic valve. Each valve has flaps called leaflets that open and close once during each heartbeat. Sometimes improper opening or closure of the valves, disrupt the entire circulation through your heart to your body leading to heart valve disease. Heart valve surgery is a procedure to treat heart valve disease, in which the surgeon repairs or replaces the affected heart valves. Heart valve disease can develop before birth (congenital) or can be acquired sometime during one's lifetime due to Rheumatic fever, endocarditis, coronary artery disease, heart attack, high blood pressure, cardiomyopathy (heart muscle disease) and syphilis (a sexually transmitted disease), aortic aneurysms.

Session 09: Interventional Cardiology

Interventional Cardiology is generally a non-surgical procedure that makes use of small, flexible tube called Catheter in order to repair weakened and damaged blood vessels, narrowed arteries, or other parts of the affected heart structure. Interventional Cardiologists are the cardiologists who perform Percutaneous Coronary Interventions(PCI) by implanting stents into patients especially affected with Acute Myocardial Infarction(AMI). Some cardio vascular diseases are Coronary Artery Diseases, Heart Valve Diseases, Peripheral Vascular diseases.

Session 10: Cardio Vascular Physiology

Cardio vascular Physiology involves the study about Cardiac Muscle, Cardiac cycle and Electrical Properties of Cardiac fibres. The significant part of Cardio vascular Physiology is Hemodynamics which deals with the forces generated during heart pumping inorder to develop the blood circulation through the Cardio vascular System. Maternal Hemodynamic changes occurs during Pregnancy which is associated with the Vasodilation of the Systemic Vasculature and the Maternal kidneys. During pregnancy, healthy women experience some increased shortness of breath on exertion and increased fatigue. Because resting cardiac output is increased in pregnancy, the maximal cardiac output induced by exercise is achieved at a lower level of work.

Session 11: Cardiac Mechanics

Cardiac Mechanics is the study about Mechanical function of the heart . The Mechanical Function of the heart is governed by the contractile properties of the cells, the mechanical stiffness of the muscle and connective tissue, and the pressure and volume loading conditions on the organ. The study of Cardiac Mechanics helps in predicting normal and abnormal mechanical processes of the heart based on which better analytical techniques can be developed in order to improve diagnosis. Electrophysiological Studies is carried out especially to find the nature of abnormal heart rhythms(Arrhythmia) and it is an invasive procedure.

Session 12: Veterinary Cardiology

Veterinary Cardiology is the study of heart and circulatory system in animals. The veterinary cardiologists focus on the diagnosis and treatment of the heart and lung diseases such as congestive heart failure, coughing and other breathing problems, diseases of the Pericardium, high blood pressure, age related changes to the valves of the heart, Pulmonary hypertension and many other diseases. Depending upon the animal health condition the Veterinary cardiologists perform various physical and chemical examinations and on the result basis the diagnosis and treatment is done which includes Pacemaker implantation in animals to maintain the heart rate, evaluation of blood pressure, ECG, cardiac surgery for the Congenital Heart Defects, Sonography and may other modern treatments to treat heart diseases are used.

Session 13: Cardiac Assist Devices

The choice of cardiac assist device to treat end stage heart failure is determined by the needs of the individual. These devices aid in normal functioning of the system either partially or completely. The cardiac assist devices may be of mechanical type such as Left Ventricular Assist Device or Intra Aortic Balloon Pump, and external type such as Heart Lung Machine or Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenator. The main purpose of these devices is to ensure proper functioning of the heart and prevent it from collapsing.

Session 14: Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Diseases

The leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide is due to the Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) including coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure, peripheral arterial disease, and other CVD manifestations. The major risk factors include hypertension, cigarette smoking, elevated cholesterol, elevated glucose levels/diabetes, obesity and physical inactivity which leads to death globally. Cardio-oncology is helping the patients who are going through cancer treatment. In this the cardiologists evaluates the risk on Heart due to various surgeries, cancer drugs, or radiation treatment. It involves various treatments such as trans-esophageal echo, Exercise and pharmacologic stress echo, Exercise and Pharmacologic SPECT and PET, Stress cardiac MRI, Cardiac CT angiography, Coronary calcium score, Carotid IMT, comprehensive preventive strategies for optimal heart health, Nutrition counselling etc.

Session 15: Cardiac Auto Immune Diseases

The heart and the vascular system are frequent and characteristic targets of several systemic autoimmune diseases, in particular Systemic Lupus Erythematosus(SLE), Rheumatoid Arthritis(RA) and Systemic Sclerosis(SSc). Inflammation and damage of the heart muscle leads to Myocarditis. About 5 to 20% of cases of sudden death are due to myocarditis in young adults. The main causes of Myocarditis are viral infections, autoimmune diseases, Environmental Toxins, and adverse reactions to medications.

Session 16: Advancements in Cardiac Imaging

Cardiac imaging enables physicians to validate the evidence of coronary artery diseases in order to provide early, effective treatments for the patients. Unlike other diagnosis methods, cardiology requires an additional attention to rule out the disease accurately. Hence each method has its own advantages that helps the physicians to understand how best to treat aspects of heart disease. The ultimate goal is to ensure the best care for the patients throughout their lifetime. There are many newest radiology technology advances in which the researchers are working in depth.

Session 17: Hypertension

Heart diseases that are caused due to direct or indirect effects of elevated Blood Pressure are said to be Hypertensive Heart diseases.some of the hypertensive Heart diseases include left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), coronary artery disease (CAD), Cardiac Arrhythmias and Congestive Heart Failure(CHF). The factors which are involved in the Etiology of Hypertensive heart diseases such as Hemodynamic, Structural, Neuroendocrine, Cellular, and Molecular factors and these factors leads to the development of hypertension and its Complications. Cushing’s syndrome is often accompanied by Cardiovascular risk factors, including obesity, hypertension (high blood pressure), Diabetes Mellitus(high blood glucose levels) and high blood lipid levels. It is also noted that patients who are not or not completely cured from Cushing’s syndrome remain at risk for cardiovascular diseases.

Session 18: Diagnosis of Heart Diseases

The first and foremost diagnosis is measuring the rate of heart beat and checking Blood Pressure. The diagnosis of the heart can be made by various methods such as imaging techniques, surgeries, Electrophysiology, Angiography, Radiography, etc. The widely used tests for diagnosing Cardiac issues are Chest X-ray, Stress Test, Tilt Table Test, Echo-cardiogram, CT Heart Scan, Myocardial Biopsy, Heart MRI and Pericardiocentesis. Pericardiocentesis also known as pericardial tap means collecting the fluid from the sac surrounding the heart and analyzing it for any sign of infection, inflammation or Presence of Cancer. Medical care is very essential once heart disease is diagnosed. The goals of treatment are stabilizing the condition, controlling long-term symptoms and healing if possible.

Session 19: Cardiac Nursing

Cardiac Nursing is the service provided by the Cardiac care Nurses who helps the Patients suffering from Cardiovascular system. It involves the advance cardiovascular care for patients such as the surgical tests, stress tests, cardiac monitoring and heath assessments.Cardiac care Nurses assist in stress test evaluations, Cardiac and Vascular monitoring, Health assessments, Electrocardiogram monitoring and taking care of patients who had undergone Bypass, Angioplasty or Pacemaker surgery. Cardiac Care Nurses address the entire journey of the patients including their Health promotion, disease prevention, Management of acute and Chronic conditions, Rehabilitation and Palliation

Session 20: Cardiac Pharmacology

Cardiac Pharmacology is the study about Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Cardiovascular System. The effect of drugs on the Cardiovascular system i.e., Vasoconstriction, Renal Perfusion and other reflex actions on the Myocardium comes under Cardiovascular Pharmacology. Pharmacokinetics generally deals with Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Elimination of the drugs administered. Cardiac Pharmacology also involves Toxic effects of the drugs and how to treat such intoxications. Lignocaine and Quinidine are the drugs which are obtained from the Plant sources. Dosage and Administration of drugs are the major Criteria considered under Pharmacology.

Market Analysis

Scope of Cardiology

Cardiology or Cardiovascular medicine is a sub-specialty of internal medicine. Cardiology is a division of medicine which deals with the diagnosis and treatment related to heart disorders. It is the specialisation related to one of the most important organ of our body and as such it has much significance in medical science too. Cardiologists provide diagnosis and treatment of heart failure, congenital heart defects and coronary artery disease. This includes problems caused by restricted circulation due to narrowing of the arteries, problems in the heart valves, damage to the muscle tissue, and disorders of the pericardium. There are many different categories of cardiologists – some focus more on diagnosis, prevention, and medications, while other cardiologists are more procedure-oriented, performing angioplasties and other life-saving operations.
