Valvular Emergencies: Recognition and Rapid Management in Critical Care
When valvular emergencies strike, every second counts. This intensive case-based session equips clinicians with the diagnostic precision and decision-making confidence needed to act decisively under pressure. Participants will learn to distinguish the hemodynamic signatures of acute mitral regurgitation, aortic regurgitation, and critical aortic stenosis; apply focused bedside echocardiography to identify mechanism and severity; and tailor vasoactive and mechanical circulatory support to each clinical scenario. The session also covers timely escalation to surgical or transcatheter intervention and effective coordination of multidisciplinary teams from initial diagnosis through definitive therapy. Led by Dr. Andrew Higgins (Cleveland Clinic) and Dr. Johannes Grand (Copenhagen University Hospital), with cases presented by Dr. Raunak Nair (Cleveland Clinic) and Dr. Anna Oleksiak (National Institute of Cardiology, Warsaw), this session brings together international expertise to sharpen your skills when it matters most.
Critical Care Cardiology: Navigating Training & Fellowship Applications
For cardiology fellows with their sights set on Critical Care Cardiology, Drs. Sam Brusca and Ilan Vavilin offer an insider's guide to making it happen. This focused session walks you through how to maximize CCC exposure during training — even without a dedicated program — leverage opportunities like the PULSE program, and navigate the fellowship application process with smart timelines and strategies to help you stand out. Whether you're just beginning to explore the subspecialty or ready to take your next step, this session delivers the practical guidance you need to move forward with confidence.
Advancing Cardiogenic Shock Management: Real-Time Classification & Trajectory Tracking
A SoCCC ACVC Webinar with Dr. Jason Katz, President of SoCCC and Dr. Walter Schiffer, Assistant Professor of Medicine at WashU Medicine Cardiovascular Division, as they discuss how real-time clinical decision support tools for cardiogenic shock can enhance early classification and continuous trajectory tracking. Sharing real-world experience and data demonstrating how these tools, leveraging high-frequency physiologic data, can improve recognition, risk stratification, and clinical decision-making in shock.
When the Rhythm Fails: Electrical Instability in the CICU
When the Rhythm Fails: Managing Electrical Instability in the Cardiac ICU is a case-based, one-hour webinar from the Society of Critical Care Cardiology (SoCCC) and the Association for Acute Cardiovascular Care (ACVC) focused on the recognition and management of high-risk rhythm disturbances in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. Through real-world cases and expert discussion, the session explores practical approaches to ventricular tachycardia, unstable atrial fibrillation, bradyarrhythmias, and device-related complications in critically ill cardiac patients. Co-moderated by Elliott Miller, MD (Yale School of Medicine) and Andreas Goette, MD (St. Vincenz-Krankenhaus, Germany), the webinar features case presentations from Kevin Buda, MD (Mayo Clinic) and Luca Cumitini, MD (Maggiore della Carità Hospital, Italy).
