Multi-Disciplinary Pathways for ACS Management in the Big Apple 2007 Saturday, October 13, 2007
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
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
