2019 Cardiology Symposium: Cardiovascular Care for the Non-Cardiologist
Overview
The purpose of this educational activity is to update the primary care community on the latest advances in cardiovascular care. Through a combination of lectures, panel discussion and EP care broadcast, participants will be better equipped to evaluate patients with cardiac disease and assess treatment options.
Target Audience
Primary Care Physicians
Family/Internal Medicine Physicians
Nurse Practitioners
Physician Assistants
Nurses
EMS
Learning Objectives
- Identify some of the trial-driven therapies proven to prolong life which are available to cardiac patients; and recognize the relative risk reductions associated with these therapies.
- Understand the clinical ramifications of the Fourier and Odyssey Trial results; and recognize the patients who would benefit from the use of PCSK9 inhibitors.
- Describe how you should, or should not, incorporate the new heart failure therapies into your clinical practice.
- Demonstrate understanding of situations commonly encountered in primary care when “bridging” of anticoagulant or anti-platelet therapy may be considered and/or indicated.
- Identify cardiovascular benefits and risk of older diabetic drugs; and describe cardiovascular effects of new diabetic drugs.
- Describe evidence-based research on prevention and reversal of heart disease with a plant-based diet. Translate medical research into practical guidelines.
- Describe Risk Stratification and Appropriate Management Pulmonary Emboli from low to high risk.
- Define pulmonary hypertension and its classifications; describe presenting symptoms and objective findings, and demonstrate workup and management of this complicated disease process.
- Understand the impact of an organized regional system of care on outcomes in treating patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction.
