ASIA PRIMARY ANGIOPLASTY CONGRESS 2018

Doing our best to treat AMI

11th & 12th August 2018

Marina Mandarin Hotel, Singapore

WELCOME TO ASIA PRIMARY ANGIOPLASTY CONGRESS 2018!

APAC 2018 is our 5th initiative to promote primary PCI in Asia by providing an interactive and networking platform for interventional cardiologists to share their local experience and learn from one another.

APAC 2018 will feature short lectures covering the latest updates, breakthroughs, and controversies in the management of STEMI. Interactive case presentations remain the core tenet of our program, and we will focus on five major themes: Thrombus Management, Cardiogenic Shock, Intracoronary Imaging & Physiology, Strategies in Complex Cases, and Complications in Primary PCI. We will also showcase some of the challenges in delivering primary PCI in exotic countries such as Nepal and Africa.

We are also pleased to launch a new Handbook on Primary PCI during the meeting. This practical handbook is the result of collective efforts from physicians passionate about STEMI/Primary PCI and will be shared with everyone.

For our meeting, we encourage ALL participants to ask and answer questions. We want YOU to participate actively and make this a lively and fruitful meeting.

We would like to thank all of you for coming to APAC 2018. Last but not least, have a wonderful stay in Singapore!
