OVERVIEW

Significant advances in the diagnosis and management of heart failure continue to emerge, compelling the practice of cardiology to constantly evolve. These advances must be consistently implemented into clinical practice to guarantee the best care for patients affected by these cardiovascular conditions. This conference will cover a wide range of topics including the diagnosis, management, and state-of-the-art treatment for heart failure, hypertension, and a variety of co-morbid and chronic conditions patients with heart disease may face. The 2022 conference will also feature a symposium dedicated to cardiogenic shock and resuscitation designed for those who care for patients with cardiogenic shock including cardiologists (interventional and advanced heart failure specialists), cardiothoracic surgeons, critical care and emergency department physicians, and advanced practice clinicians. The multidisciplinary faculty will discuss various treatment options for cardiogenic shock as well as the benefits of developing a dedicated shock care team. The goal of the conference is for participants to return to their practice equipped with the latest evidence base and practical information to improve patient outcomes.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

After attending this live activity, participants should be able to:

• Incorporate current and emerging clinical evidence in the assessment, treatment, and management of patients with challenging cardiovascular disease.
• Apply new concepts in the management of heart failure and hypertension.
• Determine the effect of comorbidity and chronic conditions on patients with heart disease.
• Identify and address health disparities that could negatively impact patient care within the clinical encounter.
• Interpret the role of hemodynamics in acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock.
• Discuss current outcomes and ways to increase awareness of cardiogenic shock.
• Employ new interdisciplinary care team strategies to increase early recognition of cardiovascular disease and improve patient outcomes.
