| Imaging and Physiology Summit |
 Paradigm
Shift to FFR Guided and IVUS Supported PCI
This year, the Imaging and Physiology Summit will extensively cover the
current concept of anatomic and functional evaluation for coronary atherosclerosis.
During the last years, Dr. Seung-Jung Park and his colleagues have led a
paradigm shift to functional
angioplasty though TCTAP. In this context, in this year, Imaging and Physiology
Summit will focus more on the practical approaches and the impact of functional
angioplasty on outcome in real world patients.

' From Risk Stratification to Prognosis Prediction' |
 Beyond
the Framingham Risk Score
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and
mortality throughout the world. A large proportion of patients who develop
sudden cardiac death or nonfatal myocardial infarction do not experience
prior symptoms; indeed, as many as 50% of myocardial infarctions occur in
persons without a known history of symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD).

in healthy individuals, most clinicians use a combination of traditional
risk factors. Of the various risk estimation systems that are.......

Now in its 18th year, TCTAP has become a nationally and internationally
recognized meeting in cardiology field. There are increased needs of international
society and associations to have their own specialized programs enable
to share their interests and strengths with TCTAP attendees.
Every year TCTAP has tried to find the best opportunity for our partners
to keep strong relationship and develop mutually beneficial growth in
this field. Therefore, TCTAP 2013 continuously holds a joint session with
leading international society, and the objective is to provide an opportunity
to present their own interests and study accordingly and to allow members
to broaden and deepen their understanding on a wide range of topics.
For this year, the partners attending this session are Chinese Society
of Cardiology (CSC), National Intervention Council of India (NIC), Indonesian
Society of Interventional Cardiology, and Malaysian Live consisting of
focused groups. In the Chinese session........
