Optima Education

Something is changing in PCI. More complexity. More information. More pressure. And more need than ever to pause, question and think differently. This October, Optima London returns with the next evolution of Proactive PCI: Proactive PCI 2.0, helping physicians think better, treat better and feel better in an increasingly demanding landscape. Expect live cases, hands-on learning, practical strategies and conversations designed to challenge how we plan, prepare and perform. 📍 London | 12–14 October 2026 The future of PCI isn’t just about doing more. It’s about thinking differently. Registration opens soon. Stay tuned. @jcspratt @kevinjamescroce @SibbaldMatt @cghanratty @sinning_jan

Episode 3 of The Rethinking Angina Series 'Just how complex is angina?' is now live. In this episode, @K_DeSilva explores the tools that expand our understanding of angina, highlighting the importance of reaching a clear diagnosis in the cath lab and how physiology can help resolve uncertainty before the patient leaves. youtu.be/8CmDwPekSSY @ShockwaveIVL

Episode 2 of The Rethinking Angina Series, Is a patient centred approach the most effective strategy?, is now live. In this episode, @mahz21 reflects on how The Angina Course has shaped her approach to patient management, highlighting the importance of combining patient symptoms, expectations, and physiology to guide optimal care. @ShockwaveIVL youtu.be/6vu2cCMEvwc

Too many patients with angina remain stuck without any solutions, dealing with symptoms which affect not only their lives but the lives of those close to them as well. Do we have our angina management in check? Rethinking Angina is the name of the newest video series by Optima Education, recorded during The Angina Course in Liverpool, highlighting how angina diagnosis and treatment works in everyday practice and how it can help make things better for patients. Episode 1, What Needs to Change?, is now live, with new episodes released throughout May. youtu.be/gYOn8U6Saqk?si… @ShockwaveIVL

@ShockwaveIVL @OptimaCTO May I know where and when is the next CT-guided PCI course?

At @OptimaCTO’s New Wave Academy 2026, we welcomed 84 fellows for a hands‑on learning experience focused on decision‑making in complex PCI. The two-day event combined structured thinking with a practical in lab experience, enabling high quality discussion and clear clinical relevance. Thank you to Optima Education, @ORSIAcademy, and all participants for their sincere engagement and shared expertise. US Rx only. Safety Info: shockwavemedical.com/isi/ ​ Product availability may vary by country.

New Wave Academy ORSI provided a platform for the future interventional cardiologists to engage in intensive learning. Starting from basic principles to complex cases like CTOs, the program offered theoretical instruction, simulation, and case studies to link theory and practice. Thank you to our faculty and delegates for making the learning process engaging and aspirational. The future of PCI is already here.

Optima in the US: delivered in partnership with @ShockwaveIVL, focused on creating education that is relevant, practical, and impactful. Exploring educational needs, building clear and effective messaging, and shaping teaching materials that support real-world practice. @jcspratt

Becoming an interventional cardiologist isn’t easy. It takes perseverance, dedication and, often, the support of others. Teachers, fellows, friends and family all play a role, and no two journeys are the same. Headphones On follows Laura Novelli, interventional cardiologist and Optima faculty member, from a curious teenager navigating many interests to unexpectedly discovering a passion for coronary guide wires (a bit PCI niche, we know), all before ever stepping into a cath lab. “I had absolutely no idea how to puncture a radial artery or do a coronary angiography.” Low on money and with limited cardiology experience, Laura had to make decisions. None of them were straightforward. optimaeducation.com/insights/becom…
