Scifed International Meeting on Cardiology-2018.

2^nd International Congress and Expo on Cardiology

(Clinical Cardiology)

The Section of Clinical Cardiology is often times the area where patients first have access to specialized inpatient and outpatient heart care and long-term management of their conditions. We see patients with very common heart problems, such as angina, artery problems, valvular heart disease, and heart failure.

Clinical Cardiology is fundamental to our approach to the patient and has been modified by technical advances in current practice. Clinical practice guidelines have become an essential tool for decision-making in routine patient management but, because of their length, can sometimes be difficult to read and, when several guidelines deal with the same topic, the result can be confusing. In addition, their proliferation and continual updating hamper extraction of the main points and their application in daily clinical practice.

The diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is made conventionally on the basis of the clinical history, serial electrocardiograms, and serum enzyme changes. This approach suffices in the majority of instances. However, recent enthusiasm for early intervention to reduce infarct size and the attempt to optimize coronary care utilization on a cost-effective basis has raised the need for early, sensitive, and specific indicators of myocardial necrosis. Recent reports have suggested that elevations of serum myoglobin (SMb) might provide such a parameter and permit estimation of prognosis and infarct size. However; a recent editorial has questioned the value of SMb in assessing suspected myocardial injury. We report here a study of serum myoglobin in a consecutive series of patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and in several other non-cardiac conditions. The sensitivity, specificity, and practical value of SMb are discussed in relation to a review of the literature.

Cardiology-2018 will also provide the excellent opportunity to meet experts, exchange information, and strengthen the collaboration among Directors, Researchers, Associate Professors, and Scholars from both academia and industry.
