3^rd Global Summit on Heart Diseases November 02-03, 2017 Bangkok, Thailand

Arrhythmia is a condition in which heart beat is not regular, either too fast or too slow. A heart beat rate that is too fast – in adults more than 100 beats per minute– is called tachycardia and a heartbeat rate that is too slow – less than 60 beats per minute is called bradycardia. Usually Arrhythmia is associated with no symptoms. If symptoms are present, they may include palpitations or feeling a pause between heartbeats. More seriously there may be light headedness, passing out, shortness of breath, or chest pain. Causes of Arrhythmia include many chemical agents sometimes with serious consequences. Usual arrhythmia causing factors include high or low blood and tissue concentrations of a variety of minerals, such as magnesium, potassium, and calcium. These play a crucial role in starting and conducting normal impulses in the heart. 

Heart failure is a condition in which heart is unable to pump blood properly there by not meeting the one’s body and usually there is no cure for heart failure, still people with heart failure can lead life to the fullest by maintaining healthy life style and usage of proper medication. Common signs and symptoms include shortness of breath, excessive tiredness, and leg swelling. The different kinds of heart failure include systolic heart failure, diastolic heart failure, right-sided heart failure etc.

Heart stroke is the condition where blood supply to brain has stopped temporarily, due to formation of blood clot which can be seen in an artery. This results in improper functioning of particular part of brain. The risk of heart stroke can increase from four to five times if you have atrial fibrillation. Heart stroke seeks an emergency medical attention. Symptoms include Face drooping on one side, like a lopsided smile, Trouble walking, Weakness or numbness in an arm or leg, particularly on one side of the body, Slurred speech. The symptoms of a stroke can be permanent. 

A defibrillator is a machine that is used to treat ventricular fibrillation. Defibrillators are useful in averting sudden cardiac death in patients with known, managed ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. Studies have demonstrated ICDs to have a part in anticipating heart failure in high-chance patients who haven't had, however are at hazard, life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. A defibrillator can also be named as lifesaving equipment. Defibrillators can be of implantable which are called Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD).  An ICD is placed under the skin that keeps track record of your heart rate which is a battery-powered device. Thin wires connect the defibrillator to your heart.

Heart surgery is the treatment that is used to correct problems associated with proper functioning of heart if other treatments and medications haven't worked or can't be used. The different types of heart surgery include Coronary Bypass surgery, Open Heart Surgery, Heart Valve Repair or Replacement, Off-Pump Heart Surgery, Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery. The development of cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass techniques has reduced the mortality rates of these surgeries to relatively low ranks. For instance, repairs of are currently estimated to have 4–6% mortality rates. A major concern with cardiac surgery is the incidence of neurological damage. Stroke occurs in 2–3% of all people undergoing cardiac surgery, and is higher in patients at risk for stroke. 

There are many tests that need to be performed for diagnosing heart diseases. Out of which the primary test to be performed is an electrocardiogram, or ECG. ECG checks for electrical conductivity abnormalities. The results of ECG are lines showing on paper with electrical activity abnormalities. Through which a physician can troubleshoot the disorders of heart. Further details of heart can be gathered by taking X-rays of heart, a variety of other scans using CT, MRI or nuclear technology, or via angiography. Angiography is a special technique which allows for detailed imaging of blood vessels.

Scientists in the cardiovascular topic utilize progressed live cell imaging and electrophysiological methods to research cell and intercellular flagging components in the heart, and in the little conduits and arterioles that shape the microcirculation. Specific significance is put on connecting sub-atomic and cell systems to utilitarian tissue reactions under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions. An all-encompassing element of our examination is the investigation of film particle diverts and calcium motioning in cardiovascular dysrhythmia and in the start and spread of vascular hyperpolarization amongst endothelial and smooth muscle cells, a basic system to coordinate the stream of blood and impact circulatory strain.

Obesity is become a burning issue in both children and adults. Obesity can lead to conditions such as heart attack, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and many more. In fact, obesity is an independent risk factor for heart diseases, and many studies have shown documentary evidence of CVD in obese children. Obesity can reduce life expectancy by causing many diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases by altering metabolic profile. Apart from altered metabolic profile, a variety of alterations can be seen in cardiac structure and function occurs in the individual as adipose tissue accumulates in excess amounts. Hence, obesity may affect the heart through its influence on known risk factors such as dyslipidaemia, hypertension, glucose intolerance, inflammatory markers, and the prothrombotic state, in addition to as-yet-unrecognized mechanisms.

This track is specially designed to focus on recent advances and knowledge sharing in the field of cardiology. The fast-growing area of cardiovascular medicine to implement molecular biology techniques for the mechanistic investigation, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. As an emerging discipline, it has changed conceptual thinking of cardiovascular development, disease cause and pathophysiology, Advances in Cardiovascular Imaging reviews and  clinically relevant information regarding heart failure and arrhythmias as well as ischemic, structural and valvular heart disease.

A clinical trial is a study which helps physicians to find out for a new therapy, medicine, drug or device which will help in diagnosis, treatment and prevention of a disease. Clinical trials also help doctors to find out whether these new therapies and treatments are safe and if they are better than the treatments do already exist. Cardiovascular clinical trials constitute 10% of total clinical trial members.

Cardiovascular medical attendants survey, plan, actualize and assess social insurance administrations for patients experiencing hereditary abnormalities, myocardial areas of dead tissue and vascular sicknesses. They give administrations to individuals experiencing numerous other heart ills too. Patients may have heart valve issues, or irregular heartbeats. They may experience the ill effects of liquid develop and have hypertension. A significant number of the patients that cardiovascular medical attendants tend to have different genuine medical issues. Cardiovascular patients frequently give diabetes, respiratory, renal or even memory problems.Cardiovascular medical attendants are basic individuals from multidisciplinary groups that give care to intense and incessantly sick heart patients.

If your cardiologist asked you to undergo an angiogram to gather precise information about blockages in your arteries, then you will be seen by an interventional cardiologist who specialises in Interventional Cardiology. The branch of cardiology that deals specifically with the catheter based treatment of structural heart diseases is called Interventional Cardiology. Andreas Gruentzig is considered as father of interventional cardiology. By using interventional cardiology techniques a physician can find the specific problem within the heart.

A pediatric cardiologist is a specially trained person or physician who has received extensive training in diagnosing and treating children's cardiac problems. Evaluation and treatment may begin with the fetus since heart problems can now be detected before birth. A pediatric cardiologist is trained to perform and interpret procedures such as electrocardiograms, echocardiograms and exercise tests. In instances of more huge heart disease, a pediatric cardiologist may play out a cardiac catheterization in order to analyse or treat the youngster’s heart issue. 

Blood from heart and lungs is carries by pulmonary arteries. Increased blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries and the right side of the heart is called pulmonary hypertension. Genetic predisposition is one the cause for pulmonary hypertension. General symptoms include tiredness, shortness of breath when physically active, chest pressure or pain, swelling in the extremities, even in legs and ankles, dizziness, fainting, racing pulse. The disease can be diagnosed by echocardiogram. Unfortunately treating of this disease is very difficult. Medications include calcium channel blockers, endothelin receptor antagonists, and vasodilators. 

Cardiovascular maladies (CVDs) are a noteworthy wellspring of dreariness and mortality around the world. In spite of a decay of ≈30% over the previous decade, cardiovascular disorders remains the main enemy of Americans.1 for uncommon and familial types of CVD, we progressively perceive single-quality transformations that give generally vast impacts on individual phenotype. CVDs in the all-inclusive community are mind boggling sicknesses, with a few contributing hereditary and natural components. we have seen a time of extraordinary examination to distinguish the hereditary engineering of more regular types of CVD and related characteristics. Genomics serves a few parts in cardiovascular wellbeing and illness, including malady forecast, disclosure of hereditary loci impacting CVD, practical assessment of these hereditary loci to comprehend components. For single-quality CVDs, advance has prompted to a few clinically valuable analytic tests, extending our capacity to illuminate the administration of beset patients and their relatives.
