Course Overview

Care of patients with cardiac, pulmonary, and vascular disease is complex with oft-changing guidelines and best practices. Primary care physicians need access to up to date guidelines on care of patients they see in practice every day. For example, currently there are new guidelines and recommendations for patients with chest pain and coronary stents as well as new therapies for the treatment of hyperlipidemia. This conference will offer healthcare providers needed data to improve patient care while learning cost-effective measures for patients with cardiac, vascular, and pulmonary disease.

Course Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, the participants should be able to:

Apply new chest pain guidelines to clinical practice and choose best plan of care
Apply knowledge of stress testing modalities to choose the best test for patients with suspected CAD
Identify patients who would benefit from lipid lowering therapy and determine best treatment options
Evaluate patients with heart failure and determine who should be evaluated for amyloidosis
Manage antiplatelet and anti-coagulant therapy in patients with CAD and coronary stents
Identify patients with symptomatic/asymptomatic vascular disease and determine best steps in management

Registration Fees

Fees include all program sessions, access to online program materials, continuing education credit, breakfast, breaks, lunch on Friday, and parking at the Bridgewater Place.
