8th India Live: A Premier Event in Interventional Cardiology

The 8th India Live, organized by the Interventional Cardiology Foundation of India (ICFI), is set to take place from March 1st to 4th, 2017 (Wednesday to Saturday) in New Delhi. This annual event has consistently grown in prominence since its launch in 2010, establishing itself as a premier platform for interventional cardiology professionals worldwide. The conference offers an unparalleled blend of educational content, live case transmissions, interactive discussions, and hands-on learning experiences, making it a must-attend event for anyone interested in cardiovascular and structural heart disease.

This year's edition places a special emphasis on "Regional Trials and Presentations", encouraging groundbreaking research within the region. By fostering local innovation and collaboration, India Live aims to empower regional thought leaders while promoting global standards in interventional cardiology. As a result, participants can expect a rich academic environment where they can engage with both national and international experts, exchanging ideas and insights that drive progress in the field.

One of the highlights of India Live 2017 is the inclusion of live case demonstrations conducted by globally renowned operators from various live case sites across India and abroad. These real-time procedures provide invaluable insights into the latest techniques and technologies used in cath labs. Additionally, targeted didactic presentations will delve into contemporary topics related to cardiovascular and structural heart diseases. Delivered by industry thought leaders, these lectures aim to equip attendees with the knowledge and skills necessary to tackle complex clinical challenges effectively.

Another exciting aspect of the conference is the opportunity for participants to showcase their own research and present challenging cases. Breakout sessions will focus on specialized areas such as PCI of chronic total occlusions (CTO), bioresorbable scaffold (BRS) strategies, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure, and leadless pacemaker implants. These sessions allow delegates to interact directly with experts, gaining deeper understanding and practical guidance tailored to their specific needs.

For those new to the field or looking to enhance their expertise, there will be a highly practical Fellows Course scheduled for March 1st, 2017.
