Heart Congress 2020 - 2020 World Heart Congress

Track 1: Cardiology
Cardiology is the study of the heart and its diseases condition. It is a branch of medicine that concerns disorders and diseases of the heart which may range from congenital defects through to acquire heart diseases such as coronary artery disease, and congestive heart failure. Physicians who did specialization in cardiology are called cardiologists, and they are responsible for the medical management of various hearts diseases. Cardiac surgeons are specialist physicians who perform surgical procedures to correct heart disorders.
Track 2: Pharmacology of Heart
Cardiac medicine includes the treatment of heart disease, arrhythmias, and hypertension, which may lead to the cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western world. Pharmacologic Treatment of Heart Failure can be treated by different classes of drugs such as Diuretics (thiazide diuretics, loop diuretics, natriuretic peptides) Vasodilators (dilate arteries and veins) angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), direct-acting arterial dilators nitrodilators ,natriuretic peptides, phosphodiesterase inhibitors Cardiostimulatory or inotropic, drugs Cardioinhibitory
Track 3: Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiac Surgery
Cardiovascular Medicine has a wide range to provide cardiovascular amenities converging in the management, detection, treatment & prevention of several cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular medicine has a specialty in diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the heart, and blood vessels of the vascular system which includes heart rhythm disorders, heart failure, coronary artery disease, congenital heart defects, heart valve disease, heart muscle disease, and disorders of the vascular system including the aorta, and other vessels.
Cardiac surgery/ heart surgery involves surgical operations performed on the heart under to correct life-threatening conditions. The surgery can be either open-heart surgery or minimally invasive surgery depending on the condition. The main purpose of cardiac surgery is to improve the quality of life of the patient and to extend the patient's lifespan.
Track 4: Clinical Cardiology and Electrocardiolology
Clinical Cardiology access to specialized inpatient and outpatient heart care, and it deals with the treatment of heart problems such as angina, artery problems, valvular heart disease, and heart failure. Clinical Cardiology includes Cardiac progenitor cells, Hypertension for the primary care clinician, Cardiovascular Medicine, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, Modern practices in cardiovascular therapy, Preventive Medicine.
Electrocardiolology uses electrocardiography to produce electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) which records a graph of voltage versus time of the electrical activity of the heart using electrodes placed on the skin.
Track 5: Cardiac Nursing
Cardiac nursing deals with patients who are experiencing different conditions of the cardiovascular framework. Cardiovascular medical caretakers help to treat conditions, unsteady angina, coronary corridor infection, cardiomyopathy, myocardial, congestive heart disappointment, localized necrosis and cardiovascular Dysrhythmia under the direction of a cardiologist. Cardiac Nursing performs postoperative consideration on a careful unit, push test assessments, heart observing, vascular checking, and wellbeing appraisals. Cardiac assessment nursing in Cardiac surgery nursing, Paediatric cardiac nursing, Telemetry care Electrophysiology, Stress test evaluations
Track 6: Geriatric Cardiology
Geriatric Cardiology is the branch of cardiology and geriatric medicine that deals with cardiovascular disorders in elderly people. Vascular disorders such as atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease cause significant morbidity and mortality in a controlled people.
Cardiac disorders such as coronary heart disease, including arrhythmia such as atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, heart failure, cardiomyopathy is common and are a major cause of mortality in elderly people.
Track 7: Paediatric Cardiology
Pediatric cardiology is concerned with diseases of the heart in the growing and developing the individual. Pediatric cardiologists also need a thorough grounding in general pediatrics, to provide all-round patient care.
Pediatric cardiologists treat arrhythmias (variations in heartbeat rhythm), disturbances of circulatory function and congenital heart disease (present at birth). Pediatric cardiologists play a vital role in the teaching of doctors, nurses, medical students, GPs, and paramedical staff. Most are also involved in the research.
Track 8: Cardio-Oncology and Nuclear Cardiology
Cardio-oncology is the interchange of heart conditions in patients who have been treated for cancer. Cardiologists can advise patients for potential risk of developing heart conditions following radiation treatment to the chest or if patients take certain types of cancer drugs. Oncologists also help to protect their patients during treatment by closely watching the heart and recognizing heart trouble early in treatment.
Nuclear cardiology imaging is admitted as a robust technique for clinically assessing patients with a wide spectrum of cardiac illnesses.
Track 9: Cardiac and Cardiovascular Research
Cardiovascular Research provides cardiovascular services for the prevention, detection, treatment, and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular Research Technology comprises in six main areas of interest- Structural Heart & Valve, Coronary, Endovascular, Technology and Innovation, and Nurses & Technologists. Cardiac Research includes ongoing research like Heart Failure Risk High in Patients With Lupus, Stress, Anger Trigger Fewer, Episodes With Beta-Blocker Use, Preemies Face Bigger Ischemic Heart Risk as Adults, Heart Devices: 'Less is More' in Preventing Infection, Opioid Overdose Now Provides One in Six Donor Hearts, TAVR on Bicuspid Valves May Carry Early Risks.
Track 10: Molecular and Cellular cardiology
Molecular Cardiology is a branch of molecular medicine and it’s a new and fast-growing area of cardiovascular medicine that aims to apply molecular biology techniques that seek the mechanistic investigation, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
Cardiac muscle cells show striations like those on skeletal muscle cells. Unlike multinucleated skeletal cells, most cardiomyocytes contain only one nucleus, although they may have as many as four. Cardiomyocytes (also known as myocardiocytes or cardiac myocytes) have a high mitochondrial density and produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) quickly, making them highly resistant to fatigue.
Track 11: Current Research in Cardiology
Advances in the medicine mean that if CHD is detected at an early stage it can be treated successfully to extend the survival rate. Successful treatment is more likely if the disease is detected at it's earliest stages. Our current research focuses on the early detection of CHD to halt or reverse the progress of the disease. The advance research includes the use of heart scanning in the early diagnosis of heart disease in diabetics, Drug development and evaluation of treatments used in the heart disease, Identification of novel biological markers to predict the presence of heart disease, Development of Nuclear Cardiology techniques for the detection of heart disease, Analysis of ethnic, and socioeconomic differences in the heart disease risk.
Track 12: Obesity, Diabetes & Stroke
Obesity enlarges the risk of heart disease and stroke and damages the blood system. It is also the major cause of respiratory problems, bile stones, osteoarthritis. Obesity closely interferes with many health conditions like cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and abnormal blood cholesterol. After diabetes, a person has the chance of heart disease and stroke. One can reduce the risk by maintaining blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels, blood glucose levels (also called blood sugar). Same problem- atherosclerosis can cause Stroke and coronary heart disease
Track 13: Heart Devices & Heart Diagnosis & Medication
Heart Devices are electronic devices that circulate partially or completely to replace the function of a failing heart. The development of this wireless heart monitors marks a new era. Biosensors Pacemakers, defibrillators are cardiac devices used to treat heart disease. The medical diagnosis is based the information such as physical examination, conducting interviews with the patient, and his/her family, history of a patient's and family and clinical findings in laboratory, and radiological studies. The diagnosis of heart disease can be performed by imaging techniques, surgery, electrophysiology, angiography, radiography.
Track 14: Echocardiography/ Echocardiogram, Cardiac CT and MRI
Echocardiography uses ultrasound waves to make images of the heart chambers in a diagnostic test, valves, and surrounding structures. Echocardiogram measures cardiac output and is a sensitive test for fluid around the heart pericardial effusion. It can also be used to detect abnormal anatomy or infections of the heart valves.
A Cardiac scan uses X-rays to view specific areas of your body. A heart, or cardiac, CT scan is used to view your heart and blood vessels. In the test, a specialized dye is injected into your bloodstream.
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is used to detect or monitor cardiac disease and to evaluate the heart's anatomy and function in patients with both heart disease present at birth and heart diseases that develop after birth.
Track 15: Heart Regeneration
Heart Regeneration is an effort to repair irreversibly damage to heart tissue through cutting-edge including stem cell, cell-free cell therapy. Reparative tools are designed to restore damaged heart tissue and function by the natural ability of the body to regenerate. Patients and providers find regenerative solutions that renew and recycle patients' own reparative capabilities.
Track 16: Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive Heart Failure is a condition that affects the pumping power of the heart. Heart failure can occur if the heart cannot pump (systolic) or fill (diastolic) adequately. It’s may cause symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, swollen legs, and rapid heartbeat. Medication can include limiting fluid intake and taking prescription medication and eating less salt. In some emergency cases, a defibrillator or pacemaker may be implanted.
Track 17: Congenital heart disease
It is a condition were heart abnormality present at birth, is a problem in the structure of the heart which can affect the heart walls, the heart valves, and blood vessels. Symptoms like breathlessness or trouble breathing, feeding difficulties, bluish lips, skin, fingers, and toes, low birth weight, chest pain, and delayed growth. Medication can help the heart work more efficiently and Implantable Heart Devices, Catheter Procedures, Open-Heart Surgery, and Heart Transplant can be performed.
Track 18: Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)
Coronary heart disease is a condition were atherosclosis affects the coronary arteries in the heart. When the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your heart muscle is blocked or reduced, angina or a heart attack may occur. Angina is chest pain which may feel like pressure or squeezing in your chest. This may result in pain in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. Angina pain feels like indigestion. When the flow of oxygen-rich blood to a section of heart muscle suddenly blocked the heart attack occurs, the section of heart muscle begins to die when the blood flow isn’t restored quickly, a heart attack can lead to serious problems and even death.
Track 19: Ischemic Heart Disease & Ischemic Vascular Disease
Ischemia is a condition that reduces blood supply. Ischemic Vascular Disease is where a waxy substance called plaque builds up inside blood vessels and restricts the normal flow of blood. When plaque builds up in the arteries, the condition is called atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis can affect any artery in the body, including arteries in the brain, arms, legs, heart, pelvis, and kidneys which result in different diseases that may develop based on which arteries are affected.
Track 20: Peripheral Artery Disease
Peripheral artery disease refers to diseases of the blood vessels located outside the heart and brain. They are most often caused by a build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries. Peripheral artery disease is also known as peripheral arterial disease or peripheral vascular disease which includes both arteries and veins.
Track 21: Heart arrhythmia and Myocardial infarction
Myocardial infarction commonly known as a heart attack is a condition were blood flow decreases or stops to a part of the heart, causing damage to the heart muscle.
Heart Arrhythmia occurs when the electrical signals to the heart that coordinate heartbeats are not working properly. When some people experience irregular heartbeats, which may feel like a racing heart or fluttering.
Track 22: Heart Disease & Failure
Heart disease is a condition affect your heart. Diseases under the heart disease include blood vessel diseases, such as coronary artery disease; heart rhythm problems and heart defects you're born with congenital heart defects, Rheumatic heart disease, Hypertensive heart disease, Ischemic heart disease, Hypertension and many more.
Heart failure is a condition were heart can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs. The term “Heart failure” doesn’t mean that the heart has stopped or stopped working. Coronary heart disease leads to heart failure by weakening the heart muscle. It is a serious condition that requires medical care.
Track 23: Clinical Case Reports on Heart Research
Case reports on cardiac arrest and diseases have great value which helps in the development and advancing of treatment strategies. The drugs that are used to treat other disorders in the body which show a great impact on heart causing various side effects. The heart is a major organ in the living organism which pumps blood through blood vessels of the circulatory system.
Track 24: Future Medicine of cardiology
Cardiology is a branch of medicine which deals with disease/disorders of the heart as well as parts of the circulatory system. It includes different medical diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease, heart failure, medical congenital heart defects, valvular heart disease, and electrophysiology. The diagnostic test includes Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, Physician impairment, Clinical uses of cardiac imaging, Computed tomography, Non-invasive cardiac imaging, Cardiac MRI. Personalized medicine in cardiology, Real-world evidence and outcomes research, Role of platelets and antiplatelet therapy in cardiovascular disease, Molecular targets of antihypertensive drug therapy, Development of Peacemaking and Cardiac Conduction System lineages.
Track 25: Open Heart Surgery and Heart Transplantation
Open-heart surgery where the chest is cut opened and surgery is done on the muscles, arteries, valves of the heart. During Coronary artery bypass, a healthy artery/ vein is grafted to a blocked coronary artery. Grafting is a common type of heart surgery which is done on adults which permits the grafted artery to bypass the blocked artery & bring fresh blood to the heart.
In the current world, many new heart techniques can be performed with only small incisions, not wide openings, for example, Aneurysm Repair, Insertion of Ventricular Assist Devices, Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery, Heart Valve Repair or Replacement Surgery.
A heart transplant is an operation performed on a healthier human in which a failing, diseased heart is replaced with a healthier, donor heart. It can only operate when they have tried medications or other surgeries, but their conditions haven't sufficiently improved.
Track 26: Cardiologists Training & Education
Cardiologists must have a bachelor’s degree and then enroll in a medical school program. After graduation, they complete several years of internal medicine, cardiology training in a residency program.
