Statement of Need
Cardiovascular care is rapidly evolving with new technologies. Healthcare providers need periodic educational updates on emerging clinical trials and advances in patient management. They need to learn from case scenarios applicable to daily practice and gain knowledge of changes to practice guidelines, so they can apply evidence-based research to their patient management decisions.
Overall Goal
The overall goal of this activity is to increase learner competence by discovering strategies to anticipate research-driven changes in practice, to enhance professional growth, and to demonstrate efficacy in team based patient care practice as new clinical approaches and technologies change.
Learner Objectives
Upon completion of this program, participants should be able to:
• Employ latest advancements in the management of the heart failure patient.
• Identify guideline-driven, practical, cardiovascular care strategies for the contemporary athlete including professional, recreational or occupational patients.
• Discuss the pros and cons of the reintroduction of oral anticoagulant/antiplatelet treatment post-intracranial hemorrhage.
• Compare and contrast the most current treatment strategies for atrial fibrillation.
• Discuss the use of Doppler flows to diagnose and aid in treatment of diastolic dysfunction.
Target Audience
