Journey into the Heart: “controversial news in Cardiology”

PRESS RELEASE

From 10 to 12 October, the Hotel Catalunya and the Quarté Sayal in Alghero will host the XI edition of the "Journey to the Heart" congress, an important scientific event dedicated to cardiovascular pathologies, a point of reference for professionals in the sector. The meeting, which focuses on news and controversies in Cardiology, will offer a broad overview of the latest discoveries in the clinical and interventional field, with a specific focus on prevention, advanced diagnosis, telemedicine and emerging technologies. Organized by the Clinical and Interventional Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery of the University Hospital of Sassari and the University of Sassari (Uniss), the congress will see the participation of speakers of national and international fame, who will take turns in numerous scientific sessions and tables round. During the three days of work, crucial topics will be discussed ranging from the management of acute coronary syndromes to the new frontiers of interventional cardiology, telemedicine projects through the introduction of new technologies that will involve the Sardinian territory in the coming years, without forgetting the pathologies valvular and arrhythmic, increasingly present in the elderly population.

Professor Gavino Casu, director of Clinical and Interventional Cardiology of the Aou of Sassari and director of the School of Specialization of Cardiovascular Diseases of the UNISS, underlines the importance of these moments of discussion: "The congress represents a unique opportunity to address the most recent innovations in Cardiology, from news on the treatment of degenerative diseases to innovative prevention strategies and the use of artificial intelligence to support diagnostics. Discussing and discussing these issues with international experts is essential to guarantee constant scientific updating and clinical, with the aim of improving the quality of care offered to our patients".

The congress will also offer interactive sessions that will allow participants to learn more about the most advanced techniques for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Significant space will be dedicated to emerging technologies, which are changing the way we diagnose and treat heart disorders.

Dr. Michele Portoghese, director of Cardiac Surgery and the CardioThoracoVascular Department of the AOU of Sassari, highlights the key role of Cardiac Surgery in the context of rapid technological evolution: "In a context in which the incidence of cardiovascular pathologies continues to increase, the Our commitment as clinicians and surgeons is to constantly seek innovative solutions, integrating the latest technologies to optimize surgical results and reduce risks. Open discussion with the international scientific community, such as what takes place in this congress, is essential for sharing experiences and further improve intervention protocols."
Accanto ai contenuti scientifici, un altro tema chiave sarà l'innovazione tecnologica applicata alla Cardiologia, con particolare riferimento all’ammodernamento delle apparecchiature utilizzate nei centri di eccellenza.

The Magnificent Rector of the University of Sassari, Professor Gavino Mariotti, underlines the importance of this meeting for the training and updating of staff, thanks to moments of discussion and simulations linked to new technologies, destined to play a crucial role in the next years in the clinical field and in telemedicine: 'The congress represents an opportunity to explore the use of the most advanced technologies in Cardiology, from telemedicine for remote monitoring, to artificial intelligence applied to diagnostics, up to simulations that enhance training clinic. These innovations will allow us to offer increasingly effective and personalized treatments, also improving the preparation of future professionals.

"The Aou of Sassari - states Antonio Lorenzo Spano, General Director of the Viale San Pietro company, in underlining the importance of this strategic vision - has invested decisively in the modernization of cardiovascular technologies and equipment, with the aim to offer increasingly modern and effective assistance. Technological innovation is at the center of our strategy, in line with company policies that aim to guarantee excellence in care and position our facility as a point of reference for Cardiology in regional, national but also international level".
With a rich and detailed programme, the "Journey to the Heart" congress will therefore be an opportunity for professional updating for Cardiologists, Cardiac Surgeons, Internists and Nurses, also offering networking moments for the creation of future synergies.

The splendid setting of Alghero will help make the event not only a moment of advanced training, but also an opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of the city and the surrounding area.
