Everything is ready for The Physiology Course Japan edition 🇯🇵

We are proud to partner with Japanese Association of Cardiovascular Interventions CVIT in a space that I s evolving rapidly - now able to predict symptoms improvement after PCI. #PPG

End of Day 1 at #OptimaCTPCI

Hands-on learning, challenging bias, and even a bit of dancing—today showed how knowledge sticks best when we move, do, and reflect together.

One key insight: “The biggest source of variability in PCI isn’t the anatomy—it’s the operator.”

Thank you to all faculty and delegates for bringing energy, openness, and insight.

If you're here, take the chance to network and keep the conversations going—some of the best learning happens between sessions.

What stood out most to you today?

Day 2 – Let’s Get Started

Welcome to Day 2 of the course. We're diving straight into a key question: Is coronary CT complementary to IVUS - or could it replace it?

Later today, we shift into more hands-on learning as we bring theory into practice and explore how CT transforms decision-making in PCI.

Let’s get started.

A Match Made in Heaven?

Dr Anna Beattie (Cardiothoracic Radiologist) and Dr Alan Bagnall (Interventional Cardiologist), partners in life and practice, take to the therapy couch to explore the complex cardiology/radiology relationship.

It’s not always smooth sailing but what happens when we come together, respect one another’s expertise, and work towards common goals? Could that be the key to delivering better care?

What’s your experience? Time to build bridges?

#optimactpci

[Optima Education @OptimaCTO]

Faculty and delegates are in active dialogue with interventional cardiologists in London and Antwerp, collaborating on live cases.

Seeing the value of coronary CT unfold in real time highlights how this technology is transforming decision-making and patient care across borders.

Connecting expertise, expanding possibilities.

Reflection: How will you take this forward?

After an incredible two days of learning and collaboration it’s time to ask: what’s next?

How will you bring the insights, skills, and connections from this course into your daily practice? How will you help drive the PCI revolution forward in your own Cath lab?

Share your plans, your challenges, or your biggest takeaways - let’s keep this energy going!

[Carlos Collet MD PhD @ColletCarlos]

As we wrap up an incredible CT-guided PCI course, I want to say thank you.

This course was a deep dive into the future of coronary intervention. From calcium to co-registration, we explored how CT imaging is not just a diagnostic tool, but a game changer in the lab

#OptimaCTPCI

[Optima Education @OptimaCTO]

Evidence shows dancing boosts brain size by 2% - ten times more than regular exercise (0.2%). Faculty and delegates at #OptimaCTPCI took that seriously...

Special mention: @ColletCarlos - absolutely owned the dancefloor 👏

[Optima Education @OptimaCTO]

The main source of variability in PCI?

It’s not the anatomy. Not the device. Not our location.

It’s the doctor."

Is this news - or just not talked about enough?
