Connecting Care Across Borders
Bridging expertise from Mauritius and Australia, this session unites top cardiothoracic surgeon, interventional cardiologist, endocrinologist, and medical researcher to examine the evolving landscape of cardiovascular care. Participants will discover advancements in surgical practice, interventional strategies, metabolic cardiology, and groundbreaking 3D imaging research that is shaping the next generation of cardiac diagnostics and treatment planning.
Overview
This session brings together leading Mauritian and international experts to explore the latest innovations transforming the landscape of cardiac care. Through a multidisciplinary and future-focused lens, the session will cover surgical advances, interventional cardiology breakthroughs, metabolic drivers of heart disease, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and patient-specific 3D modelling.
Participants will gain an integrated understanding of how modern cardiac treatment is evolving – from early prevention and risk stratification to advanced surgical techniques and complex interventional decision-making. The session will also highlight how metabolic conditions such as diabetes and obesity are reshaping cardiovascular disease patterns, and how innovations in imaging and 3D-printed anatomy are enabling greater diagnostic precision and personalised treatment planning.
Drawing on real-world case studies, current research, and extensive clinical experience, the speakers will illustrate how new tools, technologies, and coordinated care models are driving measurable improvements in safety, quality, and outcomes in cardiology. Whether attendees work in acute care, chronic disease management, research, or health system leadership, this session will provide valuable insights into the cutting-edge trends shaping the future of cardiac care – locally and globally.
