Overview
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the world's leading cause of death, underscoring the priority to develop and deliver education to improve care and outcome for individuals with CVD.
Recent advancements in the prevention, risk assessment, and management of cardiovascular disease reflect ongoing research and technological innovations to improve patient outcomes. Yet, the abundance of new data creates challenges for clinicians who often do not have the time or the necessary expertise to evaluate the growing evidence and apply it to their management strategies.
Cardiovascular Update 2025 will deliver innovative and interactive education that will incorporate the latest science, clinical evidence-base, and best-practices to improve prevention, care delivery, and outcomes for individuals with — or at risk for — cardiovascular disease.
Objectives
After completing this educational activity, participants will be able to do the following:
- Reduce cardiovascular risks through optimal management of dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity.
- Apply guideline-derived practices to optimize care for patients with or at risk for CVD.
- Review recent evidence and current guideline recommendations to the management of all types of cardiac arrhythmias.
- Formulate a CV care plan using evidence-based therapies and consensus guidelines for diagnosis, evaluation, and management across the entire spectrum of patients with heart failure and cardiomyopathy.
- Demonstrate comprehensive, evidence-based care in the evaluation and management of ischemic heart disease.
- Outline cardiovascular disease in women across their lifespan, from pregnancy through midlife and into older adulthood, including factors unique to women including pregnancy and perimenopausal changes which can impact cardiovascular disease.
- Evaluate the evidence from interventional and structural clinical trials describing strategies and outcomes that will impact clinical practice.
Target Audience
Providers who care for patients at risk for CVD and those with acute and chronic cardiovascular conditions, including general cardiologists, internal medicine specialists, primary care providers, family physicians, residents, fellows, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and nurses.
