Session 03: Cardiovascular Diseases

In this present world, the most common causes of abnormalities are the ones that are related to the Heart. Cardiovascular diseases are abnormalities caused by the heart and the blood vessels. This has been a reason for the hike in the rate of death of patients due to Myocardial infractions (heart attacks), which is due to improper medication and healthy lifestyle in many places. It is estimated that 90% of cardiovascular disease is preventable. Also diseases like blood pressure changes, heart failures are due to improper hygiene and medical care also, diseases like Stroke which affects the other organs is caused due to improper functioning of the heart.Diseases like this are increasing in the upcoming generations.

Session 04: Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disorder caused to the heart muscle, this disorder affects the heart muscle and thus causes alteration it the size, shape, and structure of the heart muscle and also causes discomfort to the patients in various ways such as swelling of legs, breathlessness and much more. Cardiomyopathy can be divided into various types based on the effect it has on ventricles and on the heart muscle.It causes discomfort to the patient due to the stiffening and stretching of the ventricles.In the early stages of cardiomyopathy, there are no signs and symptoms.It mostly occurs due to hereditary traits of the parent genes.

Session 05: Heart Failure

Heart failure is yet another major disorder which can be fatal if not treated properly and on proper time.Heart failure mainly is the disorder in which the heart fails to do its function of supplying sufficient blood throughout the body, this happens due to the weakening of the heart muscle which can because of ongoing medications for other diseases.Heart failure also occurs if there is stiffness caused by the organ and thus will cause disorders in the heart muscle to pump blood. Heart failure can occur due to blocks or to a patient who has previously suffered a heart attack and also for people with elevated blood pressure.If a patient is detected with heart failure then there is a need for immediate treatment and surgery based on the condition of the heart.

Sessions 06: Pediatric Cardiology

Pediatric cardiology deals with the cardiac abnormalities that are caused to babies after birth and also the diseases that are noticed in the infants before birth. Cardiac problems in babies are increasing due to various types of diseases been evolved due to improper care of the mother and also due to hereditary reasons. Various types of blocks, as well as the atrium and ventricular disorders, are noticed in the infants, also there has been an increase in the VSD (Ventricular Septal Defect) in the babies during birth.

Session 07: Cardiac Surgery

Cardiac surgery is an invasive method used for the correction of certain disorders/defects caused to the heart.This surgery is done only by cardiac surgeons and helps in the correction of ailments caused, if the patient is suffering from blood clot then the doctors commence an open heart surgery wherein the clot is either removed and a stent is placed or the clot is removed using angioplasty method in this method the need of open heart surgery is not required and with minimal loss of blood and with the help of catheters the clot is removed thus helping the heart function stable. Also for various types of valve replacements and for implantation in the heart, cardiac surgeries are carried out.

Session 08: Cardiac Imaging

Cardiac imaging is a technique used to monitor the functioning and the condition of the heart muscle and its valves. Imaging technique helps in understanding any disorder caused to the heart or any kind of disorder that might occur in the near future. Cardiac imaging is further divided into invasive and non-invasive imaging techniques. By methods of Angiogram in which dye is injected into the bloodstream and based on the movement of the dye, the images are collected. Also, there are methods of using ultrasound for imaging purpose, this is used in Echocardiogram and is a non-invasive method for monitoring the heart and its functions. Thus cardiac imaging is a wide branch and a useful methodology in medicine.

Sessions 09: Cardiac Oncology

Cardio-Oncology deals with the problems of the heart that are caused in cancer patients during the course of their treatment. This is mainly caused due to the heavy medications used in cancer patients for the removal of the tumor from the body this medicines which include chemo affects the heart and causes disorders, there is also a larger type of defects caused due to radiation emission on the body for the removal of tumor, mainly women with breast cancer are more prone to cardiac defects. This type of cancer-related medications weaken the heart and causes disorders. This branch brings together cardiologists and oncologists to work together and helps in monitoring the vitals of the patients having both the diseases and thus helping the patient to get more better treatment in order to have a longer lifespan.

Session 10: Heart Transplant

Heart transplant is one of the most admired discoveries made in the field of medicine. This discovery and its methodology have opened ways for many patients with cardiac problems who seems to have no solution can go for a transplant which can extend their life-span. Heart transplantation is a risky process and is costly process as well earlier there was transplantation of heart from donors to the patients only, which used to be rare and hence many patients were not able to get a donor, but nowadays due to the introduction of Artificial heart patients have an option to go for artificial hearts and wait for a donor. Also, cardiac regeneration has paved way for repair of the heart without the need of transplantation and directly regenerating the tissues damaged due to cardiovascular diseases or due to heavy medications or radiation exposures.

Session 11: Sports Cardiology

Sports Cardiology is a branch of cardiology also known as exercise cardiology is also an important field in medicine as well as in the field of sports.There has been a number of incidents where the athletes from different field of sports have undergone cardiac arrests and other cardiac-related issues on the field. There also have been deaths taking place in the field due to cardiac arrest among sports personalities. On contrary sports is one a major part for the healthy functioning of the heart, there are many benefits for the heart if a person is a sports player, sports help in proper circulation, normal blood pressure and also helps in pumping more blood throughout the body.Sports cardiology helps in knowing the heart condition during extreme work and during rest by monitoring process.

Session 12: Diagnostic Test in Cardiology

A diagnostic test in cardiology is yet another type of monitoring the function and knowing the electrical activity of the heart muscle in the body. This type of tests use devices that help in monitoring the various vitals of the heart muscle, in this various equipments like sphygmomanometer, stethoscope help in knowing the blood pressure and also if there are any disorders caused in the heart muscle or its functioning. In equipment such as Electrocardiogram the electrical activity of the heart can be monitored and through its resultant waveform in the P, Q, R, S manner the activity of the heart muscle can be understood. Thus diagnostic methodology is an innovative field where improvements can be made for better precision and accuracy of the devices.

Session 13: Current Research in Cardiology

Cardiology has a broad outlook in the field of research as there are many areas in this field where many diseases and disorders do not have any solutions for correction and also the expensive treatments needs to be cheap with the use of different methodologies but giving the same effective result. Various developments in the field of imaging are been carried out where in the contrast and quality of the images are needed to be improved for better understanding while monitoring the heart. With the introduction of 3D printing, the modeling of various implants and artificial organs and valves have become easier and developments and research are been done on the same.

Session 14: Implants in Cardiology

Implants in cardiology is a branch which has attracted a lot of research scholars as it is been used as a remedy for most of the cardiovascular disorders.Basically, an implant is a biocompatible device that is introduced into the body in order to replace the function and process of a biological organ in the human body. Implants such as pacemakers, defibrillators, different types of stents are widely used in the field of cardiology by patients with the need for this implants. Many improvements and the introduction of new features are made in these implants with constant research and inventions.

Session 15: Interventional Cardiology

Interventional cardiology is a field of Cardiology that uses catheter and stents to repair or replace the damaged blood vessels in the heart. It is a minimally invasive process which does not involve blood loss from the patient's body. It is an easy process to remove blocks that are caused by the blood vessels due to thickening of the blood vessels because of fat deposits. It helps in avoiding open heart surgery and other complications that are involved in the surgical process. It's also a method used for implantation of various devices into the body. This type of cardiology is used for valve replacement and valve repair procedures. It is a field on which many researchers are currently working on to improve the methodology thus making it more efficient.

Session 16: Interventional Treatment

Interventional cardiology is a branch of cardiology which uses the minimal invasive methodology for certain valve replacement and valve repair processes. This methodology uses catheter-based treatment in order to repair or replace the blood vessels. The treatment procedure is focussed to correct the disorder with minimal blood loss and with low risk. It has proved to be a key method in valve replacement and carotid interventions. This branch in the field of cardiology has made the need for open heart surgery avoidable in certain cases.

Sessions 17: Interventional Radiology

Interventional radiology is an important and fast-growing field in the branch of Cardiac Imaging. This is a process which uses a catheter-based technique for both diagnostic and therapeutic process in cardiology.It helps in getting images of the blood vessels and thus helping to know the defect and disorders caused in the heart.This method of imaging also helps in predicting the disorders that can occur in the future.This is a minimally invasive process that is performed by interventional radiologists and helps in getting a detailed image of the blood vessels with the usage of a catheter and biocompatible dye.

Session 18: Future of Interventional Cardiology

Interventional Cardiology is a much-discussed field of medicine which has developed due to constant discoveries made through research. Currently, there are many research and discoveries made in this catheter-based methodology as patients find discomfort in certain types of treatment. Developments such as use of less bulky balloons that allowed for smaller caliber guiding catheters and arterial access during the process are made also, developments are made to predict heart failures with the use of devices such as CardioMEMS implantable heart failure monitor, this type of discoveries and innovations are a boost for the future in the field of interventional cardiology.

Market Analysis

Market Analysis

The cardiovascular disease market, which includes various numbers of disorders like hypertension, coronary artery disorders,cardiac arrest, dyslipidaemia and thrombotic events, is set to grow from $129.2 billion in 2015 to $146.4 billion by 2022, at a very modest compound annual growth rate of 1.8%, according to business intelligence provider GBI Research.

‘Novartis’ heart-failure drug Entresto was introduced to the market in July 2015, and GBI Research expects its revenues to increase dramatically during the forecast period. Entresto is a combination drug, which has shown efficacy in clinical trials. Coupled with a high cost, which amounts to over $4 500 annually per patient, the drug contributes to a very high revenue forecast of $5.7 billion by 2022.

The sheer number of expirations and approvals means the structure of the market will shift significantly. According to the registry of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation, approximately 500-600 pediatric heart transplantation procedures are performed globally every year, which represents around 12% of the total number of heart transplants performed among all the patients. And in 2014, a total number of pediatric heart transplants execute globally was 586. In children, the most often caused of heart failure is occurred owing to a congenital heart defect or a cardiomyopathy. Thus this increasing rate of heart failure has increased the fatality rate in children with this disorder.

The global market for a heart transplant is expected to grow at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 11.2% during the forecast period of 2017-2023. The global Interventional Cardiology market is anticipated to grow at a steady rate and will post a CAGR of more than 7% during the forecast period. The growing demand for minimally invasive (MI) procedures will drive the growth prospects for the global Interventional Cardiology market in the forthcoming years.

Various countries have gained a high-profit margin due to cardiology disorders and have continued their research for the development and proper cure of all kind of heart disorders with new innovations and discoveries.
