Overview
Despite advances in reperfusion with primary stenting, progress in STEMI outcomes has stalled over the past 20 years. A new FDA approved therapy, TherOx® SSO2 Therapy, has been shown to reduce infarct size by 26% when treated within 6 hours of symptom onset in anterior STEMI patients post-PCI (1).
Pre-clinical studies have also shown that SSO2 addresses microvascular obstruction, which is strongly associated with mortality and hospitalization for HF within 1 year (2, 3).
Learn about this promising new therapy for STEMI patients and hear from global thought leaders about their experiences with it.

Faculty Biographies
Steven Yakubov
Dr Yakubov is the John H. McConnell Chair of Advanced Structural Heart Disease, System Medial Chief, Advanced Structural Heart Disease of OhioHealth and Medical Director of Cardiovascular Studies for the OhioHealth Research Institute at Riverside Methodist Hospital, Columbus, Ohio. He has been involved in numerous clinical trials to advance treatment options for cardiovascular disease and structural heart disease. He is a speaker at several annual major cardiovascular conferences and has numerous publications in major medical journals and book chapters. He has been instrumental in the development of new technology for the treatment of structural heart disease.
Richard Schatz
Dr Richard Schatz is research director of cardiovascular interventions at the Scripps Heart, Lung, and Vascular Center and director of gene and stem cell therapy. A recognized international expert in interventional cardiology, he has published and lectured extensively. His seminal work in coronary stents spurred a revolution in the treatment of coronary artery disease – more than 2 million of them are placed annually worldwide, with an immeasurable impact on relieving mortality and morbidity, improving patients’ lives, and reducing healthcare costs.
Andreas Schäfer
Dr Andreas Schäfer currently holds the position of deputy director at Hannover Medical School and specialises in interventional cardiology. Dr Schäfer has been involved in multiple clinical trials and has published extensively in the field of interventional cardiology. In addition, he regularly speaks at conferences and educational events globally.
Dan Burkhoff
Dr Dan Burkhoff is currently the Director of Heart Failure, Hemodynamics and MCS Research at Cardiovascular Research Foundation, New York, US. Dr Burkhoff's interest include cardiovascular modeling and ventricular mechanics, cardiovascular monitoring, heart failure, device and pharmacologic treatments for heart failure, including left ventricular assist devices. He is also author of Harvi, an interactive simulation-based application for teaching and researching on ventricular mechanics and hemodynamics.
