Track: Acute Coronary Syndromes
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.
