NEW! Haemodynamic rounds: how to integrate haemodynamics into clinical practice
Important: No registration is required for this workshop; places will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
To provide detailed insight into the haemodynamics of patients with cardiogenic shock and to clarify the role of haemodynamic assessment in phenotyping cardiogenic shock, supporting clinical decision‑making and management.
This workshop is divided into three parts:
- Part 1: Critical care echocardiography: what should we look for?
- Part 2: How to integrate pulmonary artery measurements into practice.
- Part 3: PV-loops at the bedside: next level haemodynamics?
The three parts are repeated on both days. See the schedule
NB: Part 1 of this workshop is a great introduction to the "Multiorgan ultrasound in acute cardiac care" workshop.
NEW! Echodynamic evaluation of cardiogenic shock phenotype: a multiorgan approach
Important: No registration is required for this workshop; places will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. (max. of 15 participants per slot).
A structured echodynamic approach for the application of SCAI and SHARC classification.
The integration of the echo evaluation in the patient trajectory – from the first medical contact to the comprehensive evaluation.
The integration of multiorgan echodynamic assessment for the evaluation of the cardiocirculatory cross-talk.
Escape rooms on Cardiogenic Shock and a mystery topic
Escape Room on Cardiogenic Shock
Important: No registration is required for this workshop; places will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. A maximum of 25 participants is allowed for each session (divided into five groups of five).
To incorporate key critical care cardiology concepts for diagnosis, classification and phenotyping of cardiogenic shock in a practical way that will allow you to appropriately tailor key therapeutic strategies in the management of these patients.
To learn through fast‑paced scenarios that emulate real‑life clinical situations in patients with cardiogenic shock, requiring timely treatment decisions, including early revascularisation and revascularisation strategies, selection of vasoactive therapies, management of extracardiac organ involvement, and cardiac arrest complicating cardiogenic shock.
To understand the importance of multidisciplinary teams and integration of multiparametric evaluation in cardiogenic shock, including haemodynamic parameters, imaging, clinical findings and laboratory tests for patients with deteriorating cardiogenic shock who need escalation of therapies.
Four repeated sessions will be held during the congress. See the schedule
Mystery Escape Room
Important: No registration is required for this workshop; places will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. A maximum of 25 participants is allowed for each session (divided into five groups of five).
Understand how to approach patients with pulmonary embolism using the recommended classification by current guidelines, incorporating both concepts from the published recommendations from ESC and ACC/AHA.
Integrate clinical, laboratory, echocardiographic, and haemodynamic parameters in decision-making for patients with pulmonary embolism through the implementation of Pulmonary Embolism Response Teams (PERT).
Understand the indications for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients with pulmonary embolism suffering cardiac arrest as a bridge to catheter-based therapies and recognise the indications, contraindications, benefits, and risks of percutaneous pulmonary thrombectomy in improving haemodynamics and survival.
Four repeated sessions will be held during the congress. See the schedule
Simulation on Cardiac Care
Important: No registration is required for this workshop; places will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. A maximum of eight participants is allowed for each session (divided into two groups of four).
Describe the purpose and value of structured debriefing in acute cardiac events.
Facilitate a debrief that promotes psychological safety and avoids blame.
Apply a clear framework to guide post-event discussions.
Identify communication and workflow issues that commonly arise during cardiac emergencies.
Translate observations from the event into specific, actionable performance improvements.
Recognise emotional responses after high-stress cardiac cases and address them appropriately within the debrief.
Distinguish between clinical factors, human factors, and system factors when analysing an event.
Four repeated sessions will be held during the congress. See the schedule
