Heart Attack Day 2026 marks our return to a hybrid format, offering both in-person and virtual attendance options for the first time since 2019. This annual education event brings together physicians, nurses, pharmacists, paramedics, allied health professionals, cardiology technologists, and educators from across Manitoba with a shared goal: delivering coordinated, equitable, and high-quality ACS care.

This year’s program explores Risk Through the ACS Journey, with practical, system-focused sessions designed to support real-world decision-making across diverse clinical settings. Highlights include:

  • Cardiovascular Risk in Women Across the Life Span

  • Primary Prevention Cardiovascular Risk Assessment and the Role of Lipoprotein(a)

  • Rapid-Fire Cases: What to Do in the Moment

  • Keynote Address by Dr. Shaun Goodman - Mind the Gap: The Importance of Research, Quality Improvement, and Knowledge Translation in Optimizing Patient Care
