Workshop Description: The CANCARE Cup has become a staple of CCC over the last few years. By employing a unique team-based gameshow workshop format, 2 teams will pit their wits against the audience in an interactive fashion over the essentials of critical care cardiology.

Each of the 2 teams will consist of 4 members, including 2 trainees. The prevailing side will be awarded the CANCARE CUP. Topic areas will fall under general categories emphasizing essential critical care principles. The broad faculty (Heart Failure Cardiology, Electrophysiology, Cardiac Surgery, Critical Care Cardiology, and Critical Care, with associated trainees) will help to generate germane questions. Questions will cover topics of interest to both specialists in cardiac critical care and those who have patients requiring critical care.

The gameshow will be divided into quarters, with a summary of key learning points highlighted at the end of each quarter. Key concepts relevant to the learning objectives will be covered in each quarter. There will be a live audience Q & A spread throughout the event. In addition, an open question and answer period will also be incorporated so that the workshop faculty/presenters/participants can respond directly to the audience. This will engage audience members and emphasize relevant learning points, but also generate discussion.

The purpose of this workshop is to provide a relevant overview and clinical highlights of critical care for the CICU cardiologist and other cardiovascular specialists engaged in assessment or care of these critically ill patients.
