Event Description

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

The 2025 Beaver Creek Cardiovascular Conference 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

  • Discuss how to optimize the management of acute decompensated heart failure
  • Describe new innovations in cardiac CT imaging
  • Discuss which patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest should go to the cath lab
  • Review the role of factor XI inhibitors in cardiovascular disease
  • Discuss new approaches in obesity management
  • Discuss which drugs should be stopped in patients with cardiovascular disease
  • Describe the role of pulsed-field ablation for atrial fibrillation
  • Discuss the future use of telerobotics in cardiovascular medicine
