| Conference Description and Objectives |
| |
The mission of the Signature Interdisciplinary Program in
Cardiovascular Research is to provide a continuous bridge
between basic research and clinical practice to lesson the burden of
cardiovascular disease on our society by generation of new knowledge. |
| |
| As a result of participation in this CME activity, participants will be able to: |
- Learn how genomics can be used to better
focus cardiac drug therapies.
- Understand the manner in which cardiovascular
risk factors differ substantially by race, and the
corresponding implications such differences
have for screening and clinical intervention.
- Acquire knowledge regarding existing
NCEP-ATP III guidelines for evaluation and
management of dyslipidemias and also learn
of results of recent pivotal trials published
since the last guideline update.
- Understand the guideline-indicated therapy
for the treatment of patients hospitalized for
an acute coronary syndrome.
|
- Show how functional cardiac imaging in small
animal models can be used to understand
cardiac developmental defects and understand
how these imaging techniques can be applied
to other experimental studies of the heart.
- Learn how to manage chemotherapy-induced
cardiomyopathies.
- Provide information on the level of compliance
with current guidelines from an outpatient
heart failure registry and demonstrate areas
where there is room for improvement.
- Recognize the benefits of lowering cholesterol
and understand the supporting evidence.
