PCR Perspectives - a contemporary approach to the invasive diagnosis of MINOCA
17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Nina Van Der Hoeven and Colin Berry seize the opportunity of meeting at the heart of EuroPCR 2023 to discuss the diagnostic approach of MINOCA. As they explain, everything is primarily determined in the cathlab, thanks to angiograms. Further investigations are then required to exclude other causes than...
How to support the equal advancement of women in interventional cardiology
18 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Roxana Mehran, Marta Bande and Emanuele Barbato tackle the issue of gender equity: how to create a more equitable environment for women interventional cardiologists, and how to support women in the field of interventional cardiology as a whole. They also discuss the key drivers of change...
