DESCRIPTION

This symposium is clinically oriented, including case presentations, updates on clinical practice and reviews of multi-center trials data, and it emphasizes the scientific underpinnings of a cardiology practice. Subjects range from muscle mechanics in the fruit fly to clinical lipid management, given by a faculty who are in day-to-day practice, drawn from the Hopkins Cardiology Division and related specialties of cardiac and vascular surgery, neurology and endocrinology. Our small group workshop sessions offer the opportunity to bring interesting or problem cases to stump or share with our clinical experts. As in previous years, we offer an ACLS training and certification module.

OBJECTIVES

After attending this course, the participant will demonstrate the ability to:

• Evaluate and manage patients with atrial fibrillation
• Select patients who might benefit from trans-arterial valve replacement
• Advise patients on the most updated information on potential side effect of statin drugs
• Identify and manage patients with heart failure who could benefit from the use of inotropic agents
• List current guidelines for treating cardiovascular risk factors.
