COURSE DESCRIPTION
This annual course provides new case-based updates on the diagnosis and treatment of commonly encountered challenging cardiovascular conditions. Each year the program has new and refreshed content but continues to focus on various challenging aspects of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, pericardial and myocardial disorders, valvular heart disease, congenital heart disease, atrial fibrillation and other heart rhythm disorders, vascular medicine topics, and preventive cardiology. The case-based review will address the relevant guidelines and treatment options for patients with these conditions.

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 the completion of the course.
