The Mechanical Circulatory Support Conference will take place in Riyadh from June 27 to 29, at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre's King Salman Auditorium. Over 20 interactive scientific talks, discussion sessions, and workshops led by international specialists will be held throughout the event, which will bring together medical professionals from all over the world, including surgeons, physicians, and nurses. The conference aims to investigate how people with heart and respiratory failure may improve their quality of life and health outcomes by using technology. It also seeks to improve communication among healthcare professionals providing treatment for patients with heart failure, by focusing on cardiothoracic and cardiac surgeons, critical care physicians, intensive care nurses, respiratory therapists, and perfusionists. The conference will act as a platform for colleagues from other specialisations and nations to share ideas and experiences, which will eventually enhance medical practices and patient care both within and outside of the Kingdom.
