"Cardiovascular Tips for the Practitioner"

This two-day continuing education symposium will center on the nuts and bolts of everyday care for patients with cardiovascular diseases, and present new ideas for tailoring the most appropriate treatment plan for each individual. Focus will be placed on gauging and monitoring therapy, including recognizing symptoms, evaluating risk factors, and guiding treatment through imaging, general testing, and genetic testing.

Working with the most current data from recent evidence-based medicine studies, the invited faculty will discuss options for patients with coronary disease, peripheral vascular disease, renal vascular disease, carotid disease, valvular heart disease, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and structural heart disease. Ultimately, the goal is to provide an overview of the optimal methods and management of the informed cardiologist’s practice, and to discuss and debate the exciting options on the horizon.
