The pearl of unloading with mechanical circulatory support
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
Delve into the critical aspects of mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock, focusing on device selection, assessment of persistent congestion, and the application of unloading tools to improve patient management and outcomes.
Advanced heart failure: left ventricular assist device as bridge to optimise guided-directed medical therapy
21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session explores advanced heart failure management with a focus on guided-directed medical therapy and the role of left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) as a bridge to therapy optimization. It discusses clinical, imaging, and biological parameters indicating LVAD use and highlights devices such as the Impella...
When to best combine guided-directed medical therapy and devices at discharge of acute heart failure
20 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026
This session addresses the challenges and strategies in optimizing guided-directed medical therapy for acute heart failure patients, especially those intolerant to up-titration. It also covers the assessment and timing for cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT), highlighting the benefits of combining medical therapy and device implantation to improve...
Improving Heart Function (iHF): Driving trans-disciplinary innovation in heart failure care
25 Aug 2025
Improving Heart Function (iHF) is a scientific and educational initiative which aims to address the complexity of heart failure care with a trans-disciplinary vision and high-level clinical resources.
Refractory heart failure: combining oral therapy and device is key
21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Address refractory heart failure management through combined oral therapy and device interventions.
