OVERVIEW

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the number one 1 killer worldwide in both men and women. An estimated 17.3 million people died from CVD in 2008, representing 30% of all global deaths. A cardiovascular disease-related event causes a death every minute in the United States. It is projected that the number of people who will die from cardiovascular disease will increase to 23.3 million by 2030. The "Invasive Cardiology Update for Practicing Health Care Professionals" symposium aims to offer the latest updates on diagnostic and treatment strategies that assess the risk of coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, congestive heart failure, valvular heart disease, arrhythmias, and preventive cardiology. The didactic learning method is poised to support practitioners' efforts to remain abreast of new and emerging approaches in the field of interventional cardiology. The goal of this course is to provide clinicians with education on best practices needed to improve patient outcomes, expand on current therapy options, and reduce morbidity and mortality related to cardiovascular disease.

This course will be offered both in-person and live-streamed online.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

After participating in this activity, clinicians should be able to:

1. Effectively incorporate current and emerging clinical evidence in the comprehensive assessment, treatment, and management of patients with, or at increased risk of, cardiovascular disease
2. Effectively assess patients with aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation who are appropriate for catheter-based therapeutic options
3. Articulate new approaches to managing patient health outcomes through prevention education and coaching
