Arrhythmias and the Heart: A Cardiovascular Update 2023

This will be offered as a live, in-person conference at the Fairmont Orchid and will also be offered by livestream format. When registering, you will be required to choose in-person or livestream.

Livestream participation is to be viewed during the livestreaming hours posted for the course. This course is not intended, nor approved, as an on-demand learning activity. The recorded lectures take approximately 3-4 weeks to be posted on the course dashboard and ABIM MOC credit must be claimed within 30 days of the livestream course.

Course Description
The program highlights key topics in cardiology to keep the practitioner current, with an emphasis on cases, updates, and clinical guidelines. The diagnosis, management, and prevention of common rhythm disorders, atrial fibrillation, and ventricular arrhythmias will be reviewed along with challenging aspects of congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and myocardial disease. There will be an emphasis on patient management, case-based presentations, and panel discussion sessions to provide interaction between the faculty and attendees. Mayo Clinic and guest faculty will share “pearls” to aid in the evaluation and assessment of patients with commonly seen cardiovascular diseases. Special sessions will highlight ECG pearls useful in all aspects of cardiology.

To reinforce the knowledge gained from the course and ensure lasting value to each attendee’s practice, Mayo Clinic provides access to all course presentations with voice-over recordings after the completion of the course.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Recognize the electrical signatures of common arrhythmias and select optimal treatment approaches
• Apply current guidelines and recent clinical trial evidence for the management of heart failure
• Diagnose, evaluate, and manage structural heart disease
• Identify appropriate anticoagulation strategies for atrial fibrillation
• Summarize a general overview of the current state of AI in Cardiology

INTENDED AUDIENCE
This course is designed for cardiologists, internists, family practitioners, physician’s assistants, and cardiovascular nurse practitioners and specialists caring for patients with cardiovascular disease.
