GHA-SCAI SHOCK MENA: Region’s first cardiogenic shock event to raise awareness about the critical condition

Gulf Heart Association (GHA), the region’s professional cardiac care society with representation from 7 countries, has teamed up with the Society of Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI), the only professional medical society in the US dedicated solely to interventional cardiology, to bring to the region a first-of-its-kind conference on cardiogenic shock, GHA-SCAI SHOCK MENA.

GHA-SCAI SHOCK MENA will be held on 2nd and 3rd of February 2024 at Le Meridien Hotel and Conference Centre, Dubai, UAE. The two-day event will feature presentations, panel discussions, case studies, and workshops presented by distinguished cardiologists. They will discuss the condition of cardiogenic shock, and its presentation and management in the current era.

“Despite the advances in the management of acute cardiac conditions, cardiogenic shock represent a big challenge to cardiologists because of its high mortality,” said President of GHA, Dr Mohammad Zubaid, MB, ChB, FRCPC, FACC, FGHA. In his capacity as one of the leading medical researchers in MENA, he added, “We lack regional data about the incidence and management of this lethal condition. We plan to establish a regional registry focused on the care of these patients to understand the current landscape of cardiogenic shock and how we can improve these patients’ outcomes.”

GHA-SCAI SHOCK MENA will be a useful platform for interventional cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, and intensivists to meet, exchange ideas and collaborate in the management of cardiogenic shock. It will witness participation from across the region and will provide the industry with the opportunity to network with leaders in this field and showcase their products and achievements in this field.
