OVERVIEW
Led by our renowned multi-disciplinary Faculty, the 2019 Cardiology Pulse Symposium (Formerly Cardiology Fiesta), will utilize an interactive format, focused on improving patient care to provide timely updates of scientific data, new technology and guidelines. Through topical debates, case-based presentations and interactive audience modalities, Cardiology Pulse will provide the attendee with updates on the rapidly evolving technology and cutting-edge therapy. By illustrating state-of-the-art evidence and best clinical practices as they apply to real world case patient scenario, attendees will gain the understanding of their role in providing care not only in their practice today but in the future as well.
By providing up-to-date topical reviews we will inform the attendee about how to achieve the best outcomes. This patient-focused process will allow the attendee to weigh the risk versus benefits of therapeutic choices. The inclusion of precision medicine which will provide attendees with increasingly precise information about the molecular mechanism by which a person has developed cardiovascular diseases and facilitate focused approaches to optimize treatments to allow patients to deal with their personal disease. Taped cases will provide content focused presentations of how innovative procedures are performed along with the clinical decision process to decide between therapeutic options making clinical care choices. Cardiology Pulse will also offer focused sessions for Fellows and Nurses.
