Arrhythmias and the Heart: A Cardiovascular Update

COURSE LOCATION
Fairmont Orchid
1 North Kaniku Drive
Kohala Coast, HI 96743

The program highlights key topics in cardiology to keep the practitioner current, with an emphasis on cases, updates, and clinical guidelines.  The diagnosis, management, and prevention of common rhythm disorders, atrial fibrillation, and ventricular arrhythmias will be reviewed along with challenging aspects of congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and myocardial disease.  Special sessions will highlight ECG pearls useful in all aspects of cardiology. There will be an emphasis on patient management, case-based presentations, and panel discussion sessions to provide interaction between the faculty and attendees.  Mayo Clinic and guest faculty will share “pearls” to aid in the evaluation and assessment of patients with commonly seen cardiovascular diseases.

To reinforce the knowledge gained from the course and ensure lasting value to each attendee’s practice, Mayo Clinic provides access to all course presentations with voice-over recordings after completion of the course. You must have attended the course as a live attendee in order to access these.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Recognize the electrical signatures of common arrhythmias and select optimal treatment approaches
- Apply current guidelines and recent clinical trial evidence for the management of heart failure
- Diagnose, evaluate, and manage structural heart disease
- Identify appropriate anticoagulation strategies for atrial fibrillation.

INTENDED AUDIENCE
The symposium is designed for cardiologists, internists, family practitioners, physician’s assistants, and cardiovascular nurse practitioners and specialists caring for patients with cardiovascular disease.
