Overview
4th Annual Houston Shock Symposium
Registration is closed for this activity.
The Houston Shock Symposium is a dedicated cardiogenic shock symposium that encompasses interventionalists, advanced heart failure cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, cardiac physiologists, cardiologists, critical care physicians, and engineers. It is our aim to have world renowned experts in this field to share and advance knowledge, expertise, and vision to save lives and reduce shock’s unacceptable high mortality rate.
The Annual Houston Shock symposium has over 50 national and international experts in the field of cardiogenic shock. Our targeted audience are critical care physicians, general cardiologists, advanced heart failure cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, intensivists, fellows in training, and medical staff interested in the physiology, diagnosis, and management of cardiogenic shock.
This educational activity is designed for interventionalists, advanced heart failure cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, cardiac physiologists, cardiologists, critical care physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, medical students, residents, and fellows.
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Explain that cardiogenic shock is a final common pathway of multiple different disease states, and that management should be implemented early, and efficiently.
- Define best practices in management of shock and the optimal timing and utilization of percutaneous circulatory assist device including all commercially available devices including counter-pulsation, left ventricular, right ventricular, or biventricular support device.
- 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.
