Guidelines how to prepare the case presentation
(or any other presentation)
● Use the PowerPoint format
● Presentation should take not more than 10 min
if presented orally
● Number of slides should not exceed twenty (30
secs for one slide)
● Normally the slide could be fully understandable
for the auditorium if the number of words in the
slide does not exceed 27

(or any other presentation)
● all the abbreviations used in the slide shoud be
explained at the bottom of each slide (for example,
MI – myocardial infarction, PCI – percutaneous
coronary intervention etc.) using smaller font
● if cited any article or any picture from the
internet the source must be shown every time
using small font (e. g. Eur Heart J 2013; 21: 150209, www.escardio.org)

in interventional cardiology
● We have the aim to make the students
understand the indications, contraindications,
limitations, possibilities and threats of
interventional procedures.
So, the most important for this presentation is to
show and explain the interventional treatment of
your patient.

● complaints should be presented shortly (e. g. use term
„anginal pain“ instead of seven questions of pain
qualification)
● disease onset time and all the history (anamnesis
morbi) is on crucial importance in a case of acute
coronary syndrome
● do not forget to present all the risk factors that may
have had influence on the condition of your patient

● status praesens – please show only pathological
findings that are (or should be) present in a certain
disease
● show the laboratory or any other investigation
pathological findings (e. g., ECG and its dynamic changes
could be scanned, if available, troponin level changes,
abnormal EF etc. on echo, lipid profile, creatinine level,
glycemia, RBC are very important)

● coronary angiography pathological findings
● final diagnosis should be written and explained (if
necessary)
● differential diagnosis is not so important when dealing
with interventionally treated patient

● the indications for the interventional procedure
(and its timing) should be discussed; to find the
appropriate indications please visit the site

● find the information about the stents or other devices
used for your patient in the Internet (drug-eluting stent,
or other) to understand why this particular stent(s) was
used for your patient; discuss whether this meets the ESC
guidelines or not
● explore the field of antiplatelet drugs (aspirin,
clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor, GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors,
DAPT), their possible combinations after interventional
procedures

● if needed, discuss the choice among PCI vs. CABG vs.
optimal medical therapy; between interventional
procedure vs. surgery
● discuss the possible threats of use of contrast dye (CIN
– cotrast – induced nephropathy etc.), X-ray exposure,
problems occurring with different stents (stent
thrombosis, in-stent restenosis etc.)
