Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:

recognize challenges in translating the knowledge gained in the basic research into corresponding increase in diagnosis, therapeutics, and prevention:
learn about appropriate methodology & strategic plan for implementation into clinical practice by informed decision making to bridge the gap between basic and clinical research; and
paradigm to expand training opportunities in translational research in cardiovascular medicine.

This session will provide the insights from cardiologists about their basic cardiac research and its implementation into clinical setting. The speakers will discuss on the highly interdisciplinary approach between basic and clinical science for strategic execution of disease treatment, diagnosis and prevention in various cardiovascular diseases.
