UCSF CME: 39th Annual Advances in Heart Disease 2022 (CME VIDEOS)

our 39th annual course will again strive to present topics that highlight new evidence-based medicine findings reported within the last one to two years that impact clinical practice. These will range across a variety of cardiologic subspecialty interests including heart failure, arrhythmias, cardiac surgery, gene therapy, aortic diseases, prevention and artificial intelligence.
Our faculty will include a distinguished group of visiting academicians from North America together with outstanding teachers and clinicians from the University of California, San Francisco.
All sessions will be recorded and made available to participants for online viewing 30 days post course.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This course is intended for cardiovascular specialists, practicing cardiologists, internists, family physicians, cardiovascular
Objectives:

Providing the best management of coronary heart disease, hypertension, lipid disorders, diabetes, systolic and diastolic heart failure, atrial fibrillation and flutter, STEMI and non-STEMI, thromboembolic disease
Refining considerations for atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and ventricular tachycardia ablation
Applying the best considerations of surgical revascularization or percutaneous intervention for management of coronary heart disease
Recognizing risk stratification of cardiovascular disease
Optimizing the management of ascending thoracic aorta disease
Optimizing the management of pulmonary embolism
Recognizing the role of cardiac surgery in the management of endocarditis
Recognizing the genetic basis of cardiovascular diseases
Recognizing the importance of deep empathy in patient interactions
Recognizing that pathophysiology of diseases and treatment options differ among racial and ethnic groups
