The Advanced Interventional
Cardiology course

The Advanced Interventional Cardiology course is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of cutting-edge techniques and evolving practices in cardiovascular intervention. The program focuses on mastering complex Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) procedures, the latest approaches in structural heart disease management, and the application of evidence-based strategies for optimal patient outcomes. Through a carefully structured blend of didactic lectures, hands-on simulation training, and interactive case-based discussions, participants gain both theoretical knowledge and practical proficiency.
Emphasis is placed on real-world decision-making, advanced imaging interpretation, device selection, and complication management. The course also integrates insights from current clinical research and global best practices, ensuring that participants are equipped to deliver the highest standards of interventional cardiology care in diverse clinical settings.
