Join your colleagues for the latest updates and practice guidelines in cardiology from coronary heart disease, cardiac rhythm disorders, heart failure, prevention, and hypertension. The program format will provide data from the latest clinical trials and updates on state-of-the-art techniques through lectures, case presentations, and interactive discussions. This course is intended for clinical cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, general internists and allied health personnel with a cardiovascular interest; however other medical specialists will find it valuable.
