The 17th Annual Case-Based Approach to Controversies in Cardiovascular Diseases will be held on 20–21 March 2027 at The Creekside Hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The meeting is co-sponsored by Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic and is designed around practical cardiovascular decision-making rather than a lecture-only review of the field.
Its official welcome message identifies a familiar challenge for clinicians: cardiovascular research, clinical trials, devices, technologies and medical treatments continue to expand rapidly, making it difficult to remain current while maintaining a busy clinical practice. The conference responds to that need through an in-depth review and analysis of contemporary cardiovascular medicine, using real-world cases to connect new evidence with the decisions faced in everyday patient care.
All scientific sessions are described as case-based, with participation and debate encouraged between faculty members and attendees. That structure gives the meeting a distinct educational emphasis: reviewing competing approaches, discussing the implications of new information and examining how current practice applies to individual patients. The detailed 2027 timetable and presentation titles have not yet been released on the public website, so specific sessions or clinical topics from the 2026 agenda are not treated as confirmed content for the upcoming edition.
The target audience includes healthcare professionals involved in managing cardiovascular disease, particularly cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, residents, fellows and nurses. The combination of clinical cases and multidisciplinary discussion makes the meeting relevant to both established practitioners and clinicians in training. Alongside the scientific sessions, the organisers describe an exhibition offering exposure to cardiovascular technologies, resources and treatment solutions.
The current welcome message names Walid Saliba, MD, Joseph Maalouf, MD, and Wael Al Mahmeed, MD, as course directors, with Wael Jaber, MD, identified on the US organizing committee. The separate faculty grid on the homepage is explicitly labeled 2026 Faculty. It has therefore not been reused as a confirmed 2027 speaker roster, and the downloadable 2026 scientific program is not attached as the upcoming meeting’s agenda.
The Creekside Hotel is the announced venue for this two-day Dubai conference. Detailed 2027 registration fees, an abstract call, workshops and a credit award were not verified in the current-edition material. The listing records the announced dates, venue, course leadership and case-based educational approach while leaving unpublished details unclaimed. Prospective attendees should consult the official website as the organisers release the complete 2027 program and registration information.
