Expert clinician-educators will provide a focused update of the diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic approaches to the patient at risk for, or with known, cardiovascular disease. Faculty will focus on the cardiovascular disease issues that internal medicine physicians most frequently encounter and will provide “key points” to update the audience and foster patient care.

This extensive collection of compelling virtual lectures will cover:

• diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to the patient with known cardiovascular disease.
• the guidelines and recent studies regarding hypertension, valvular heart disease, optimal blood pressure control, and care of the patient with cardiovascular disease who undergoes noncardiac surgery
• approaches for decreasing the risk for complications and decreasing hospital readmissions for patients with a variety of cardiovascular issues
• optimal surgical and pharmacologic treatments for the care of patients with coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and repaired congenital heart disease.
• The transition of care after hospital discharge for patients with a variety of cardiac issues
• the role of technologic advances in cardiac care that the internal medicine specialist may use in patient care: electrocardiography, echocardiography, cardiac CT imaging, cardiac MRI, cardiac PET scan, and wearable cardiac rhythm monitoring devices
• approach to the adult who underwent repair of congenital heart disease as a child
