Course Description

This annual course provides new case-based updates on the diagnosis and treatment of commonly encountered challenging cardiovascular conditions. Each year the program has new and refreshed content but continues to focus on various challenging aspects of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, pericardial and myocardial disorders, valvular heart disease, congenital heart disease, atrial fibrillation and other heart rhythm disorders, vascular medicine topics, and preventive cardiology. The case-based review will address the relevant guidelines and treatment options for patients with these conditions.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

describe current approaches to non-culprit disease during acute coronary syndrome presentations

identify the indications for mechanical circulatory support in end-stage heart failure

develop a strategy of selection of patients for novel anti-hyperlipidemic agents

describe selection of patients for valve replacement therapies and strategies to distinguish surgical vs. interventional pathway of care.

Attendance at any Mayo Clinic course does not indicate or guarantee competence or proficiency in the skills, knowledge or performance of any care or procedure(s) which may be discussed or taught in this course.

Intended Audience

This course is appropriate for, but not limited to, cardiologists, internal medicine subspecialists, general internists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and other primary healthcare providers.
