Syllabus

Joint Accreditation Statement:

In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by the American College of Cardiology Foundation and the Ohio Chapter of the American College of Cardiology. The American College of Cardiology Foundation is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.

Physicians
The ACCF designates this internet live educational activity for a maximum of 2.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should only claim credits commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

MOC
Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn up to 2.25 Medical Knowledge MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine’s (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity. It is the CME activity provider’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit.

Nurses
The ACCF designates this internet live educational activity for a maximum of 2.25 continuing nursing education contact hours (CNE) and 2.25 pharmacotherapeutic nursing contact hours (CNERx) Each attendee should only claim credits commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Physician Assistants
The American College of Cardiology Foundation has been authorized by the American Academy of PAs (AAPA) to award AAPA Category 1 CME credit for activities planned in accordance with AAPA CME Criteria. This activity is designated for 2.25 AAPA Category 1 CME credits. PAs should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation.

While offering credits noted above, the course is not intended to provide extensive training or certification in this field.

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 patient care practice as new clinical approaches and technologies change.

Learner Objectives

• Discuss the cardiovascular impact of COVID-19.
• Identify current available therapies for aortic valve disease for appropriate referral.
• Examine appropriate strategies for identifying patients who are at high-risk for cardiac events and progression of atherosclerosis, and review the management of multiple CVD risk factors.
• Apply principles of effective team based care to improve workforce wellness and patient outcomes and utilize resources to help ensure one’s own mental and physical well-being.

Target Audience
Adult Cardiologists, Pediatric Cardiologists, Cardiothoracic Surgeons, Cardiology Fellows-in-Training, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Physician Assistants, Pharmacists

Disclosure Policy
As a provider accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), the American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF) must ensure balance, independence, objectivity and scientific rigor in all of their directly provided or jointly provided/co-provided educational activities.
