Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: Echocardiography in Pediatric and Adult Congenital Heart Disease Symposium to be held on 10/08/17 - 10/11/17.

The 33rd Annual Echocardiography in Pediatric and Adult Congenital Heart Disease Symposium returns to the Rochester, MN campus of the Mayo Clinic and will highlight the use of echocardiography and other cardiac imaging techniques to recognize, understand, and manage patients with congenital heart disease using a case based format. This four-day symposium is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the anatomy, clinical aspects, imaging, and management of patients with congenital heart disease. The symposium will include case discussions, didactic seminars, anatomic and imaging correlations, discussion of multimodal imaging and live, hands-on scanning seminars to illustrate the impact of cardiac imaging on treatment, diagnosis, and management of patients with congenital heart disease.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

• Describe the anatomy and physiology of common congenital cardiac conditions as well as the surgical/interventional procedures used to treat them
• Interpret 2-D echo/Doppler hemodynamics in the setting of congenital heart disease
• Recognize limitations of echocardiography and other imaging techniques
• Integrate the most up-to-date echocardiographic and multimodality imaging techniques into patient management

INTENDED AUDIENCE:

This course is designed for pediatric and adult cardiologists, surgeons, fellows in training, and cardiac sonographers. The emphasis is on echocardiography. Participants should have a good working knowledge of echocardiography.

Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: Cardiovascular Review Course for Cardiology Boards and Recertification to be held on 8/27/17 - 8/31/17

Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular Review Course for Cardiology Boards and Recertification (CVBR) will provide the cardiologist and internist with an overview of all aspects of cardiovascular medicine.  Well-known experts in each field will give in-depth, engaging lectures on state-of-the-art subjects in cardiovascular medicine.  Each lecture will be followed by a question and answer session with an audience response system.  Although this course is designed specifically to prepare the cardiovascular specialist for the cardiovascular boards, it will also provide the practicing cardiologist or internist with an update on the latest knowledge and advances in cardiovascular medicine.

COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES

We have included a sampling of our 164 CVBR course objectives for your review. Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

• Describe the etiology and pathophysiology of restrictive and other non-dilated cardiomyopathies and use this information to effectively diagnose and manage patients
• Recognize and diagnose venous thromboembolism (VTE) and pulmonary embolism using the appropriate algorithm for VTE diagnosis based on a pretest probability of disease assessment strategy
• Identify cardiovascular disease risk factors in patients without known CAD and use them to predict the risk of future coronary events
• Identify the classification and mechanisms of action of antiarrhythmic agents
• Explain the physiologic changes that occur with pregnancy

For a full list of our course objectives, please contact us at cvcme@mayo.edu.

INTENDED AUDIENCE

This course is intended for cardiologists, cardiovascular fellows, and general internists who want both a live forum and online platform to continue learning year-round. This option includes both admission to a 5-day live course in Rochester, Minnesota and the use of the online personalized and adaptive course before, during, and after your attendance (one year subscription).
