A Comprehensive Review of the Latest Advances, Current Trends and New Innovative Therapies for Cardiovascular Disease

Introduction

The 30^th Annual Cardiovascular Conference in Beaver Creek, Colorado has been designed to provide a comprehensive review of the latest advances, current trends and new innovative therapies for cardiovascular disease, delivered by national leaders in the field. Interact with faculty during case-based sessions that address challenges in the diagnosis and management of common cardiovascular conditions such as atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure and valve disease. The course will also feature a case-based fellows program, and a focus session on innovations in cardiovascular care.

Objectives

By attending this conference, attendees should improve their ability to:

Discuss new therapeutic agents for hyperlipidemia
Discuss the management of perioperative atrial fibrillation
Describe how to integrate SGLT2 inhibitors into your practice
Discuss the impact of artificial intelligence in cardiology
Discuss new advances in cardiac CT and FFR-CT
Review how to detect and manage device infection
Discuss the optimal DAPT strategy after PCI
Describe new catheter-based approaches for tricuspid regurgitation
