The Comprehensive 2020 Update for Clinical Cardiology

Description

There is a persistent gap between the practice of cardiology and the guideline-recommended evaluation and therapy. In a time of continually changing information based on ongoing, new research findings, the practicing clinician has a hard time maintaining an up-to-date knowledge base and, therefore, competency in these areas.

As a result, the performance of the clinician frequently lags behind state-of-the-art practices. This course addresses this gap by providing an extensive review of clinical cardiology through didactic lectures, panel discussions and cases emphasizing newer concepts of diagnosis, decision-making, pharmacology and therapy in the areas of ischemic heart disease, valvular heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, diabetes, cardio-oncology, pregnancy, spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and other areas.

Learning Objectives

The 2020 program offers you the opportunity to learn:

• Important medical and procedural advances for the management of common clinical problems such as coronary artery disease, heart failure and valvular heart disease
• The latest transcatheter options and best practices to treat patients with severe valvular disease
• The new paradigms for care of specialized populations, such as adults with congenital heart disease, cardiac patients with cancer and athletic individuals
• The latest concepts of diagnosis, decision-making, pharmacology and therapy in the areas of ischemic heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias and congestive heart failure

Target Audience

This course is designed for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and fellows. This course may also be of interest to physicians who practice in cardiology and vascular medicine, critical care and trauma, family medicine, geriatrics, internal medicine, thoracic surgery or cardiac surgery.
