One intensive day covering principles, interpretation, and practical use of physiology in the cath lab. Understanding concepts rather than being snowed under by data. 
New: hands-on wet-model workshops on epicardial and microcirculatory measurements

🔬 NEW this year: practical wet-lab workshops offer a truly hands-on experience to explore techniques for assessing epicardial and microcirculation—from established approaches to the latest innovations.

TPC (The Physiology Course) for the first time at EuroPCR

🫀 Following the renowned applied coronary physiology courses at the ESC Heart House in Sophia Antipolis, TPC has become the reference in applied coronary physiology
🚀 For the first time, TPC arrives at EuroPCR.

[Bernard De Bruyne @BernardBruyne]

💡 This intensive one-day course covers the full spectrum of coronary physiology—from core principles to hands-on skills for the catheterisation laboratory. Designed by leading experts, TPC prioritises true understanding over data, with plenty of room for discussion.

🔥 Physiology has evolved.
From a diagnostic method to a prognostic tool.

💡 What if we could predict outcomes before we stent?

The Pullback Pressure Gradient (PPG)—a metric describing how disease is distributed along the coronary artery—may hold that key.

Our latest study, now published, explores this idea.👇

Great to see @CardioAalst @CoreAalst ranked #3rd from OUS institutions at #TCT2025 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Another one for you @drjohnm @venkmurthy ?

Just published in @CircAHA #OnMyMind

What is "rest"? Is a patient lying on a cathlab table truly “at rest”? Using continuous thermodilution, we show that resting coronary flow can vary significantly @BernardBruyne @awilgenh

Looking forward to Optima @ Osaka Japan in July!

@divaka_perera @CircIntv @DrOzanDemir @TheBHF @PCRonline @MortonKern @ColletCarlos @monaltiren @ziadalinyc @wfearonmd @SimoneBiscaglia @GianlucaCampo78 Right findings, wrong interpretation: When measured with micromanometer-tipped wires, distal coronary pressure is ALWAYS lower (4-5 mmHg) in the LAD than in the LCx. Thus, FFR and NHPR (RFR, iFR, etc.) are consistently a bit lower.

@BoopathyCardio @MortonKern @JEscaned @JACCJournals @SRIHER_Official @SRMC_official @CsiChennai @cardiosadha2 @harilalith Papaverine is also immune to caffeine… and to policythemia and provides a steady state hyperemia which IC ado does not give. There is nothing such as ‘non steady state physiology’

[Bernard De Bruyne @BernardBruyne]

@divaka_perera This is predominantly due to the difference in hydrostatic forces and secondarily due to the difference in volume/mass ratio between the LAD and non-LAD arteries. It is NOT due to a difference in intrinsic microvascular function.

Is PCI always the answer?

Dr Rasha Al-Lamee leads us through patient-focused insights on when physiology supports—and when it questions—revascularisation.

At the heart is understanding the impact on the patient and their wellbeing.

⁦@ColletCarlos⁩ and the ⁦@OptimaCTO⁩ course live now.. a dont miss educational event

[Optima Education @OptimaCTO]

#TPC2025 is all about bringing voices together from around the world to push boundaries in physiology.

@CoreAalst

[Optima Education @OptimaCTO]

Welcome to #TPC2025 – live from ORSI Academy in Melle, Belgium! 🌍 Over the next two days, we're diving deep into coronary physiology with an all-star international faculty. Let’s get started with reflections on the core principle: treat the patient, not the indices.
