One cannot become a calcium expert overnight – it takes time and commitment to go deep on the topic. That’s why we’re excited to embark this month on a year-long education journey that we’re calling the Calcium Masterclass. Over the last year, we’ve been working with Prof. James Spratt (St. George’s University, London) and the team at Optima Education to develop a comprehensive collection of 10 webinars, 5 of which will feature live cases, and a 14-chapter calcium compendium that will be presented by 37 masters of coronary calcium.
