Cardiovascular disease remains the world's leading cause of death, responsible for 17.5 million deaths globally each year. While efforts have successfully reduced mortality from CVD, it poses a huge economic burden of 210 billion euros per year in Europe. The Cardiac Society of Mauritius and the European Society of Cardiology share the goals of reducing the CVD burden through advocating quality care, disseminating knowledge, and building communities of specialists. They collaborate through membership, education initiatives like joint congresses, and developing the next generation of cardiologists. Strong worldwide collaboration is needed to advance cardiovascular science and help people live longer, healthier lives.

Structural heart disease (SHD) refers to conditions affecting the heart's structure. It primarily affects older people and can be debilitating or deadly if not treated early. The document discusses barriers to optimal SHD detection and treatment in Europe, including lack of awareness, under-detection by doctors, ageism in diagnosis, and unequal access to care. It recommends increasing public and doctor awareness, improving early detection through guidelines and technology, ensuring high-quality treatment, addressing ageism, and collecting better SHD data to understand inequalities and guide policy.
World stroke day(2018)
World Stroke Day is observed annually on October 29th to raise awareness about stroke prevention and treatment. This year's theme is "support for life after stroke" to highlight the needs of stroke survivors and caregivers. Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Risk factors include high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, unhealthy diet, smoking, and excessive alcohol. Symptoms can include numbness, confusion, vision problems, trouble walking, and severe headache. Treatment focuses on early diagnosis and management to limit disability. Prevention strategies emphasize lifestyle changes like quitting smoking, healthy diet, exercise and controlling blood pressure and cholesterol.

The Future of Cardiology (2018 – 2030): Advanced Treatments to Combat the Global Advance of Cardiovascular Diseases. I presented this at Conference Series Cardiology Conference 2017 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 09/01/2017. I first look the the number of people globally affected by cardiovascular diseases. Then I look at the cumulative "lost productivity" globally as a result of people suffering from cardiovascular diseases. Following that, I look at the total costs of treating cardiovascular diseases globally. Then I present the reasons why cardiovascular diseases are rising so rapidly throughout the world - lifestyle/clinical. Then I look at the rates of smoking throughout the world; one of the main culprits of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The next slides look at the "Gold Standard" of care for coronary artery diseases (CAD), congestive heart failure (CHF), and aortic valve disease. I also present what is driving industry consolidation and associated major transactions. I then provide some perspective on the future of interventional cardiology. And finally, I provide some insight into "evolving technologies" for cardiovascular care and interventional cardiovascular care. It was a lengthy presentation, but I feel, all critical. This is a very complex field. It takes at least 12 continuous years of education and training to become an interventional or non-interventional cardiologist (4 years pre-med, 3 years medical school, 3 years medical residency, 2 years fellowship (where a cardiologist selects and trains on their cardiovascular specialties)). Some authorities are even calling for post-fellowship training for procedures like transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and pacemaker/ICD implantation.

1) Five European countries with successful nationwide primary PCI networks were studied: the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, and Austria.
2) Regional networks involving emergency services, non-PCI hospitals, and PCI centers provide access to primary PCI for most patients. Direct transfer from first medical contact to the cath lab minimizes delays.
3) Cath lab staff are organized to provide 24/7 primary PCI services. The highest-risk NSTEMI patients undergo emergency angiography within 2 hours of admission, similar to STEMI patients.

This document shares the story of a mesothelioma patient who was initially given a prognosis of 3 months to 2 years to live. After undergoing surgery and chemotherapy, her latest scan showed that her tumor had shrunk, much to the surprise of her oncologist and husband. While she still tires easily, she has been able to enjoy traveling around the UK in a motorhome over the past 4 months and resume activities like walking her dog. Her improved condition has extended her projected lifespan beyond the initial 3 month timeframe. The story highlights the impact of mesothelioma on a previously active individual and some positive outcomes achieved through treatment.

3. Given Anne's relatively low risk, a personalized approach focusing on patient education, involvement in decision-making, and lifestyle management is recommended. Regular follow-up will be important to monitor compliance, side effects, and adjust therapy if needed.
4 dan atar - anticoagulation af pci - what do trials say
Professor Dan Atar presented on anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation and percutaneous coronary intervention based on recent trial results. The WOEST trial found that dual therapy with a vitamin K antagonist (VKA) and clopidogrel reduced bleeding compared to triple therapy with a VKA, aspirin, and clopidogrel, with a potential mortality benefit. The PIONEER AF-PCI trials found that rivaroxaban dual or triple therapy was associated with significantly less bleeding than VKA triple therapy, with comparable efficacy. The RE-LY-DUAL PCI study found dabigatran dual therapy significantly reduced bleeding compared to warfarin triple therapy. Guidelines recommend balancing the risks of bleeding from
3 dan atar - rate versus rhythm control in af
Professor Dan Atar presented on the CABANA trial, which compared catheter ablation to antiarrhythmic drug therapy for atrial fibrillation. The trial involved over 4,000 patients across 140 centers in 10 countries. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality, disabling stroke, serious bleeding, or cardiac arrest. The trial found no difference in these clinical outcomes between the catheter ablation and drug therapy groups. However, catheter ablation was found to be an effective treatment for reducing symptoms in patients with atrial fibrillation. The trial supports current guidelines that catheter ablation should be considered for symptomatic patients after failed medical treatment.
2 dan atar - esc hf guidelines - clinical aspects
Professor Dan Atar is a cardiologist who has authored and contributed to several heart failure and atrial fibrillation guidelines. He discusses key clinical aspects of heart failure management based on the ESC guidelines. First, inpatient treatment focuses on recompensation of acute heart failure, which carries a high mortality risk. Ensuring an uptitration plan and follow-up appointment at discharge is important. In the outpatient setting, adherence to therapies needs to be secured given the risk with multiple daily dosing, and comorbidities and polypharmacy must be adequately addressed.
1 dan atar - latest landmark trials in hf-1
Professor Dan Atar is a cardiologist who has contributed significantly to clinical trials and guidelines on heart failure and atrial fibrillation. He discloses relationships with several pharmaceutical companies. He summarizes key landmark trials in heart failure treatment. RALES showed spironolactone reduced mortality in severe heart failure. EPHESUS found eplerenone beneficial post-myocardial infarction. EMPHASIS showed benefit in mild heart failure. COMMANDER-HF found no benefit to anticoagulation in sinus rhythm heart failure patients. TOPCAT found spironolactone reduced heart failure hospitalizations but not overall in those with preserved ejection fraction. PARADIGM established mortality benefit for sacubitril/valsart

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
