Track: Coronary & Ischemic Heart Disease

Heart Conference 2027

Coronary & Ischemic Heart Disease covers the full spectrum of atherosclerotic disease at Heart Congress 2027, from chronic coronary syndromes to acute coronary events. Sessions focus on risk stratification, revascularization decision-making, and the growing recognition of non-obstructive coronary disease.

Key Discussion Areas:

  • Evolving criteria for revascularization versus optimal medical therapy in chronic coronary syndrome
  • What recent trial evidence means for antiplatelet duration after PCI
  • Detecting and managing microvascular and non-obstructive coronary disease (INOCA/MINOCA)
  • Risk stratification for acute coronary syndrome in the era of high-sensitivity troponin
  • The role of plaque imaging in predicting future coronary events
  • Improving secondary prevention adherence after a coronary event

Sub Tracks

  • Acute Coronary Syndromes
  • Chronic Coronary Syndromes and Stable Angina
  • Atherosclerosis and Plaque Biology
  • Antiplatelet and Anticoagulation Strategies
  • INOCA/MINOCA and Microvascular Disease
  • Revascularization Outcomes Research
  • Myocardial Infarction
  • Antithrombotic Therapy

Why Attend This Session?

Interventional and general cardiologists, emergency physicians, and researchers will gain updated guidance on managing coronary disease across the acute-to-chronic spectrum, along with opportunities to share outcomes data and registry findings.
