从A到Z综合回顾确定性知识

    医心：请您给我们介绍一下 SA和MOC（Maintenance of Certi.cation）的热点话题，您认为这些课程是否对中国医生有益，为什么？

    介入心脏病学课程以及血管内和结构性心脏病学话题都将涵盖在高水平的讲座中，通过病例展示和问答多项选择来补充。对该领域内确定性的知识从 A到Z进行回顾，作为心血管疾病入门和认证考试前的准备，这些版块对准备认证考试的中国医生来说有特殊价值。

    医心：您能和我们分享一下您在慢性完全闭塞病变（ CTO）冠脉介入治疗方面的经验吗？

    CTO在介入心脏病学中是一个非常吸引人的领域，因为它需要非常高的临床技术，但是它也需要正确的临床判断从而避免在不需要手术的患者身上进行错误的操作。优秀的介入专家在处理 CTO病例时，需要了解冠脉树三维解剖结构、合理应用先进的成像技术、注意细小的技术细节，需要长期保持耐心、精神集中的状态。

Comprehensive A to Z Review of the Established Knowledge
——interview with Dr. George Dangas

    CCheart:  What are the hot topics this year in SA and MOC (Maintenance of Certification)? Do you think these courses are beneficial to physicians in China and why?

    Dr. George Dangas:  The curriculum of interventional cardiology as well as endovascular and structural heart disease topics will be covered in state-of-the-art lectures and complemented by case presentations and multiple choice Question & Answer sessions.  This is a comprehensive A to Z review of the established knowledge in the field and serves as an organized primer as well as for preparation for certification exams in cardiovascular disease, interventional cardiology and endovascular therapy. These sessions will be of particular value to Chinese physicians who are preparing for the certifying examinations in China.

    CCheart:  Would you like to share your experience with us in coronary intervention of chronic total occlusions (CTO)?

    Dr. George Dangas:  CTO is an interesting field of interventional cardiology because it is highly demanding technically, but it also needs a very astute clinical judgment in order to avoid misapplication of the procedure in patients who may not need it at all.  An understanding of the three-dimensional anatomy of the coronary arterial tree, the appropriate use of advanced imaging studies and attention to meticulous technical details with patience and attention over a long period of time are necessary for a good interventionalist of CTO cases.
