This conference aims to:

  • Apply knowledge to reduce cardiovascular risks through optimal management of dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes
  • Review the key advances in cardiac electrophysiology, including VT ablation, atrial fibrillation, and syncope and describe their implications for clinical care
  • Apply evidence-based therapies and consensus guidelines for the diagnosis, evaluation, and management across the entire spectrum of patients with heart failure and cardiomyopathy
  • Demonstrate comprehensive, evidence-based care in the evaluation and management of ischemic heart disease, including stable angina
  • Identify prognostic considerations and evaluate treatment options for mitral and aortic valve disease
  • Summarize the key issues in the diagnosis and management of complex aorta disease
