RPS LPF – Recent Advances in the treatment of Congestive Cardiac Failure

The speaker, Dr Constantinos (Dinos) Missouris, currently works as a consultant Cardiologist at Frimley Health NHS Trust. He is a Senior Lecturer at the Imperial School of Medicine and at the Royal London Hospital and a visiting Professor in Cardiology at the University of Cyprus Medical School. He was instrumental in the development of a state of the art cardiac unit at Heatherwood and Wexham Park NHS Trust.

He has performed and published important academic research whilst working in the following internationally renowned units for research into cardiac and cardiovascular diseases, the Blood Pressure Unit, and the department of Cardiological Sciences, St George’s Hospital Medical School and the School of Medicine Imperial College London. During this time, he has explored many methodological approaches to the study of the heart and obtained experience in the diagnosis, epidemiology, treatment and prevention of atheromatous vascular disease. Last year, he gave us an excellent presentation on hypertension at Wexham Park Hospital and is returning to present his promised talk on Heart Failure which will cover the following:

• Historical perspective
• Pharmacological Treatment for Congestive Cardiac Failure
• New drugs in the treatment of CCF
• Non-pharmacological treatments.
