ACS NEW YORK 2010

Multi-Disciplinary Pathways

for the Management of ACS

 

Friday, October 8th, 2010

Acute coronary syndrome represents the most urgent cardiac condition requiring immediate diagnosis and prompt institution of therapy for saving lives and improving long-term quality of life. Recent trials have demonstrated the benefits of various pharmacologic and revascularization strategies. These evidence-based data have provided the basis for AHA/ACC guidelines. However, there is a continuing lack of guideline adherence, adversely affecting the patient outcome. In addition, optimal care of these high-risk patients requires a multidisciplinary approach.
 

There is an increasing need for a multidisciplinary pathway-based approach to facilitate triage and treatment of patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome. In collaboration with other disciplines, the cardiology division at St. Luke’s and Roosevelt Hospitals has developed pathways to improve adherence to guidelines and patient outcomes.

OBJECTIVES
 

  • Evaluate risk stratification of ACS patients, appropriate triage and management of different subgroups, and both pharmacologic and revascularization options for
    improved outcome of these patients
     

  • Initiate programs similar to PAIN pathway at your respective institutions to improve the outcomes of ACS patients
     

  • Recognize the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach for optimal treatment of ACS in order to develop an effective treatment strategy

This one-day symposium is designed to provide both the latest literature summary by different specialists involved in the care of patients with acute coronary syndrome, ranging from emergency room physicians to non-invasive and invasive cardiologists, and the most practical algorithm-based interdisciplinary approach.
 

Please join us in the Big Apple for our inaugural symposium for multi-disciplinary
pathway based approach to acute coronary syndrome.
