Overview
Diffuse disease: Who is most affected by this coronary pathology? What are the main causes behind it? How to treat it?
Join this webinar to listen to our panel of international experts!
They will provide an update on the latest clinical evidence, share their experience on the decision-making process in patients with diffuse disease to debate and eventually agree on the role of coronary physiology in driving their PCI strategy.
Clinical cases will be the center of the discussion to understand, assess, challenge and endorse the different technological solutions physicians can use today to optimize their interventions.
