Empathy and precision: Revolutionizing communication between cardiologists and patients

Iris Panagiota Efthymiou, Speaker at Heart Conferences
University of Greenwich, United Kingdom
Title : Empathy and precision: Revolutionizing communication between cardiologists and patients

Abstract:

Effective communication is critical in cardiology, where the stakes often involve life-altering decisions. This presentation explores the intersection of empathy and precision in communication, emphasizing the cardiologist’s role in fostering trust, understanding, and patient compliance. Drawing from evidence-based research and practical case studies, I will discuss strategies to navigate complex conversations, deliver difficult diagnoses, and motivate patients toward healthier lifestyles. By integrating behavioral insights and patient-centered approaches, we can enhance outcomes, reduce anxiety, and create a stronger partnership between cardiologists and their patients. This talk aims to equip cardiologists with practical tools to communicate with clarity and compassion, ensuring patients feel informed, valued, and empowered throughout their care journey.
