EAPCI and SCAI Joint Session: ACS and Cardiogenic Shock – Where Guidelines End and Interventional Judgment Begins
Acute coronary syndromes complicated by cardiogenic shock often push clinicians beyond the boundaries of established guidelines. This joint EAPCI–SCAI session explores contemporary treatment strategies for ischemic and non-ischemic shock, highlighting where European and U.S. recommendations diverge and where evidence gaps demand interventional judgment. Through expert-led discussion and interactive case presentations, faculty will challenge participants to navigate real-world decision-making in high-risk scenarios. Attendees will leave with practical insights into applying guideline frameworks while exercising nuanced clinical judgment in the cath lab.
