In December 2020, members of CORONARY CONNECT were part of the ACS Forum faculty, for this EBAC-accredited webinar. In this selection, Prof. Dr. Uwe Zeymer and Prof. Dr. Giovanni Esposito debate the role of early versus late treatment for NSTEMI.

Watch the video from the ACS Forum and download the slides for more information. This educational presentation is relevant for cardiologists, particularly interventional cardiologists, as well as emergency room physicians.

The ACS Forum is a medical educational programme supported by an Independent Educational Grant from Amgen.

Prof. Dr Uwe Zeymer is Head of Interventional Cardiology at the Heart Center Ludwigshafen, Department of Cardiology, Germany. He is Vice-Director of the Institut für Herzinfarktforschung Ludwigshafen. He has been board certified in internal medicine, cardiology, interventional cardiology and intensive care medicine. After his graduation from Medical School at the Universities of Munich and Marburg in 1985, Dr Zeymer gained experience as a resident, fellow and attendee in the Department of Cardiology, Municipal Hospital, Kassel, and as a clinical research fellow in the Department of Cardiology, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, USA. He is full Professor of Medicine at the University of Göttingen. Dr Zeymer is or has chaired or been a member of the Steering Committee numerous trials in patients with acute coronary syndromes, antithrombotic therapies and anticoagulants. In addition, he has been chair or member of the Steering committee of several international registries in interventional cardiology, treatment of hypertension, anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation and acute coronary syndromes. Dr Zeymer has authored and co-authored over 450 scientific papers on cardiovascular disease in journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine, Lancet, JAMA, European Heart Journal, Circulation and Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Dr Zeymer has been the Chair of the Scientific Committee of the Acute Cardiovascular Care Association of the ESC, the Chair of the Working Group of Thrombosis of the German Cardiac Society and the Chair of the Working for Quality Insurance and Registries of the German Cardiac Society. He was President of the annual Autumn Meeting of the German Cardiac Society 2013. He is currently chairing the ongoing STEMI-Registry of the EORP of the ESC.

Department of Advanced Biomedical Sciences Federico II University of Naples Naples, Italy Dr Esposito is Full Professor of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Fellowship Program Director at Federico II University of Naples; he is also Director of the Division of Cardiology of the Federico II University of Naples and President-elect of the Italian Society of Invasive Cardiology (SICI-GISE). Prof. Esposito completed his training in cardiology and PhD program in Cardiovascular Physiopathology in Italy. Then, he attended post-doctoral fellowship at Duke University, Duke University Medical Center, Dept. Of Medicine and Cell Biology, Durham, NC, USA. In his earlier work, he practiced basic research in the field of cardiac remodeling and molecular mechanisms of atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction. Since the beginning of his education, the main focus of his clinical activity has been interventional cardiology: Prof. Esposito is an expert operator of coronary and structural heart interventions. He has been actively involved in the construction and organization of the local network for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction in Campania that allowed patients suffering from this condition to have direct access to primary percutaneous coronary intervention without delay. Prof. Esposito conducted as principal investigator a multitude of clinical trials and basic projects, building up a productive and dynamic research network. Areas of his main interests include percutaneous coronary intervention, antithrombotic therapy, measures for primary and secondary prevention, structural heart disease and heart failure. He has received several awards for his contribution and commitment in the field of cardiology from national and international institutions and is being an experienced and trusted mentor for young cardiologists. He is also member of the most important national and international cardiology societies and component of the editorial board of preeminent medical journals.
