Lunch and Hands-On Workshop: Should AI-Based Coronary Physiology Be the Standard of Care? *Required Event for Fellows Summit Attendees

Sponsored by CathWorks

Coronary physiology is an integral component of patient management and decision making in interventional cardiology. Despite the overwhelming body of evidence and major technological advancements in this area, routine use of coronary physiology is well below guideline recommendations. Angio-based FFR technologies are making these assessments much faster and simpler than current wire-based devices and are poised to become ubiquitous in every Cath lab. Since these technologies are only just now making their way into clinical practice in the US, current fellows might not get to use them clinically during their training. This is a great opportunity for fellows to familiarize themselves with this exciting technology.
