State of the Heart: 2nd Annual Heart and Vascular Conference

2024 State of the Heart: 2nd Annual Heart and Vascular Conference

Cardiovascular medicine is a rapidly advancing field with new medical therapies, devices, and procedures emerging. It can be challenging for health care providers to maintain knowledge of said advancements in the various aspects of cardiovascular medicine as well as cardiothoracic and vascular surgery. A myriad of new and novel approaches to the management of this diverse field of medicine include:

  • 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.
