Cleveland Clinic Comprehensive Lifetime Care of Adult Congenital Heart Disease 2023 (CME VIDEOS)

[

Adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) are a rapidly growing, frequently underserved population who present new challenges in cardiology patient management. In Cleveland Clinic Comprehensive Lifetime Care of Adult Congenital Heart Disease — an online video CME course — presenters address the latest clinical and research advances in congenital anomaly morphologies.
Evidence-based lectures focus on the best diagnostic modalities and interventions, as well as the most appropriate management strategies. You get continuing medical education that will improve your ability to:

Assess right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction, including clinical evaluation and interventional, surgical, and hybrid options
Assess and manage adults who underwent Fontan surgery, including imaging, treatment options, and timing of valve interventions, Fontan conversion, and heart failure therapies
Assess and treat patients with Fontan-associated liver disease
Recognize social and patient-perceived barriers that complicate the diagnosis and life-long management of ACHD
Detail the highly complex ecosystem of adult congenital heart care and describe how new guidelines may shape care in the future

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

Summarize the most recent developments in the assessment of right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction, including clinical evaluation and interventional, surgical, and hybrid options in adult patients with congenital heart disease
Describe improvements in strategies in the assessment and management of adults who underwent Fontan surgery, including imaging, treatment options, and timing of valve interventions, Fontan conversion, and heart failure therapies
Summarize options for the assessment and treatment of patients with Fontan-associated liver disease
Describe the social and patient-perceived barriers that complicate the diagnosis and life-long management of adult congenital heart disease patients
Detail the highly complex ecosystem of congenital heart care in adults, and describe how new guidelines may shape that care in the future
