Diagnosis and Management of Cardiomyopathies
Advanced Heart Failure Therapies
Ischemic Heart Disease
Valvular and Structural Heart Disease
Management of Aortic Disease
Pulmonary Hypertension, Pulmonary Embolism, and Right Heart Failure
Cardiogenic Shock
Electrophysiology and Advanced Arrhythmias

This conference will provide an overview of the contemporary management of the aforementioned cardiovascular disease processes in a concise and up-to-date manner.
