Track: Acute Coronary Syndromes

Heart Conference 2027

Acute coronary syndromes remain the most common cause of emergency cardiovascular hospitalisation, yet optimal management strategies continue to evolve rapidly. The Acute Coronary Syndromes & Coronary Artery Disease session addresses validated 0/1-hour high-sensitivity troponin rule-out algorithms, the growing recognition and dedicated management framework for MINOCA (myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries), the COMPLETE trial-established benefit of complete revascularisation in STEMI with multivessel disease, DAPT duration optimisation using PRECISE-DAPT and ARC-HBR bleeding risk frameworks, contemporary management of cardiogenic shock complicating ACS, spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), and coronary microvascular dysfunction.


Key Discussion Areas:


  • High-sensitivity troponin algorithms: 0/1h and 0/2h rapid rule-out pathways
  • MINOCA: diagnostic workup, mechanistic classification, and management
  • Complete revascularisation in STEMI: COMPLETE trial outcomes and implementation
  • DAPT optimisation: P2Y12 inhibitor selection and duration using PRECISE-DAPT and ARC-HBR
  • Cardiogenic shock in ACS: MCS escalation, ECMO, and contemporary algorithms
  • Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD): presentation and management
  • Coronary microvascular dysfunction and vasospastic angina: diagnosis and treatment
  • ISCHEMIA trial legacy: stable CAD management and revascularisation thresholds


Why Attend This Session?


Interventional and general cardiologists, emergency physicians, cardiac care unit teams, and cardiovascular nurses will benefit from evidence-based updates on ACS pathways, complex PCI decision-making, bleeding-ischaemia risk optimisation, and the management of non-obstructive and microvascular coronary disease.
