We are proud to be celebrating the tenth annual Controversies and Advances in the Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease symposium this year!  The two-day scientific program will offer realistic views on many controversial topics, inlcuding coronary artery and left main disease, atrial fibrillation, valvular heart disease, mitral valve disease, chronic heart failure in the elderly and obese, adult congenital hear disease, and atrial septal defect.  New developments in healthcare reform will be discussed and debated in a special moderated session.

The scientific program will consist of sessions focused on treatment options for specific cardiovascular disease states.  Each session will include a combination of case presentations, cross-fires, discussion panels, and question and answer periods.  A faculty of internationally known leaders in the field has been invited to share their knowledge and experiences with complex and controversial cases.
