Management of Connective Tissue
Disorders and Latest Research:
Bicuspid Valves, Marfan Syndrome, Loeys-Dietz Syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos, and Related Diseases
November 11-12, 2010
InterContinental Hotel and Bank of America Conference Center
Cleveland, Ohio
Description
This course is designed to educate physicians and patients on the latest genetic findings for various connective tissue disorders, including Marfan Syndrome, bicuspid valves, Loeys-Dietz Syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and describe advances in management strategies for patients with these disorders.
The course will present expert didactic presentations, panel discussions, and break-out sessions.
Target Audience
This course will be of interest to physicians, surgeons, physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, and other health care providers in the following specialties: cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, pediatric cardiology, internal medicine, genetics, and genetic counseling.
Objectives
After completing this learning activity, the participant will be able to do the following:
- Detail management strategies for connective tissue disorders, including Marfan Syndrome, Loeys-Dietz Syndrome, and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome;
- List criteria for a clinical examination and genetic mutation diagnosis;
- Discuss controversies regarding treatment decisions based on clinical diagnosis versus gene mutations;
- Describe current techniques for bicuspid valve surgery and aortic dissection;
- Summarize the research initiatives and findings for connective tissue disorders and describe their potential clinical implications;
- Utilize guidelines to perform genetic
counseling for families.
