The Cardiology on the Green conference also saw five cardiology SpRs deliver presentations of a range of case studies, with the prospect of an educational visit to the Mayo Clinic in the US for the overall winner.
The
attendees heard from Dr Peter Wheen, who is training at St James’s Hospital in
Dublin; Dr Katie Linden, who practises in the Antrim area; Dr Sean Fitzgerald
of Beaumont Hospital in Dublin; Dr Diarmaid Hughes of Galway University
Hospital; and the final presenter was Dr Cormac O’Connor of University Hospital
Limerick.
Dr Diarmaid Hughes
The
judges decided to award the prize to Dr Diarmaid Hughes, who spoke about
advancements in machine learning in the context of a case study of a woman in
her 50s who was admitted to the emergency department of Galway University
Hospital with a cardiac arrest.
Luckily for this patient, her husband was proficient in CPR and there
was an AED in the hotel in which she arrested. Dr Hughes described this
patient’s progression through the hospital and the array of tests she
underwent, offering his clinical opinion on her status and treatment options at
that time. Her test results led to a diagnosis of cardiac Fabry disease.
