scientific advances, clinical evidence, challenges and opportunities within the
field of interventional cardiovascular or congenital heart disease;
- Recognize the appropriate
diagnostic studies for evaluation of acute coronary syndromes and summarize new
pharmacologic and interventional approaches to the management of patients;
- Appropriately select newly
developed devices and therapies for treatment of cardiovascular disease to
improve early and late clinical outcomes after coronary/peripheral/structural
heart disease interventions;
- Implement quality-based
practices, including appropriate use criteria, clinical guidelines, consistent
documentation and assignment of quality metrics for interventional procedures;
- Collaborate with cath lab team
members to optimize operations and meet new regulatory requirements, such as
MACRA;
- Assess the latest techniques,
technologies, and therapies (medical and interventional) for structural heart
disease, congenital heart disease and peripheral vascular disease.
Target Audience

- Invasive, interventional, and
general cardiologists, as well as general internists and other physician
specialists

congenital heart disease
- Fellows-in-training
- Members of the Cardiovascular
Cath Lab Team, including cath lab nurses, technologists, radiologic

SPEAKERS: SCAI 2017 is thrilled to announce that Arianna Huffington will provide the keynote address for this year's annual meeting. Ms. Huffington is the visionary behind the Huffington Post, as well as the author of fifteen books, including the New York Times bestseller The Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life, One Night at a Time. The message around The Sleep Revolution is critical to the members of the interventional cardiovascular community, who by the nature of their occupation, often suffer from the effects of interrupted and reduced sleep.

- Keynote Address: Arianna Huffington, Author of The Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life, One Night at a Time
- Featured Lecture: Anne LeGrand, Vice President, Imaging, IBM Watson Health
- Founders' Lecture: Christopher J. White, MD, MSCAI, Director, John Ochsner Heart and Vascular Institute, Ochsner Clinic Foundation
