Description:
The field of cardiology continues to evolve rapidly with the development of new tests, therapeutic drugs, devices and techniques. New treatment guidelines have been published in every major category of cardiac disease over the last three years, including updates in the management of atrial fibrillation, stable ischemic disease, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, valvular disease and heart failure. As the continued leading cause of death of both men and women in the U.S., cardiovascular disease is often initially diagnosed and co-managed by primary care physicians. This one-day course will review the appropriate use of risk stratification tools and testing modalities most commonly used in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac disease, while also introducing the latest advancements in treatment. The newest data in predicting sudden cardiac death, coronary disease risk and perioperative cardiovascular complications will be discussed. Practical tips for ECG interpretation, evaluation of the patient with syncope, and the use of the new oral anticoagulants will also be presented. Teaching methods include lectures, breakout sessions and Q&A with faculty.
