Overview

Clinically important advances in specific areas of cardiovascular (CV) medicine and surgery have influenced the care of many aspects of patient care. Research studies and clinical trials are continually expanding the evidence base related to the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with CV disease. In addition, new technologies, new drugs, and new devices are expanding the therapeutic choices available to clinicians.
This educational activity is designed to provide a succinct review and state of the art update on the prevention, diagnosis, and management of CV disease in your clinical practice.
