Along with an ambitious agenda, LUMEN is set to actively engage participants, with a pace that will even leave room for attendee-faculty comments and interaction. The meeting’s starting on the 9th of February, at the Ritz Carlton DIFC, will allow the audience give-and-take with LUMEN course directors, exploring common STEMI management situations. Faculty and attendees will create a rich environment in which to hone STEMI and door-to-balloon management skills, speaking from experiences that ranged widelyacross the country and globally.

This forum is surely to bring together a massive think tank cluster of learning’s and sharing. With representation from over 27 different countries, over 52 professional faculty from over 19 countries including 75 Chinese Cardiologists and 200 Indian Cardiologists.

This three day agenda will be driven and moderated by LUMEN and its co –directors. With gripping topics ranging from Global & Critical Issues in AMI in 2012, Thrombolysis, Pharmaco- Invasive Management and D2B Interventions, Mastering the Essentials in STEMI Care, STEMI INTERVENTIONS – PROCEDURAL TECHNIQUES, D2B MANAGEMENT, ADJUNCTIVE THERAPIES, best global strategy for STEMI Interventions….the learning promises to be an enriching experience.

They have also scheduled 9 workshops for focused learning,

Dr Sameer Mehta, MD, FACC adds, “LUMEN will make a very sincere and determined effort to narrow the gap that exists in AMI management between U.S. and Europe and the Asia Pacific region. “

“It should bother the conscience of all cardiologists that young men are dying in the world from an eminently treatable entity.  With Primary Angioplasty, and a good ambulance system, efficient programs can be developed that can dramatically reduce the incidence of morbidity and mortality from heart attacks”
