and there is a growing crisis in the field of CVT Critical Care.
Every hour of every day, thousands of people-from the newborn to elderly-undergo cardiovascular-thoracic surgery for treatment of cardiac, pulmonary and esophageal pathology. Each year, hundreds of thousands of patients undergo surgery on the organs of the thoracic cavity.
This annual meeting brings together the entire spectrum of multi-disciplinary professionals in CVT Critical Care, drawing on the resources of the multi-disciplinary team and enhanced by world-renowned faculty speakers that focus on strategies for prevention, detection, and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
