20th Annual Controversies in Cardiac Arrhythmias
September 24, 2010(Ended)Cosmos Club

Washington, DC, United States
New developments and advances in the understanding of complex
arrhythmias afford benefits to patients who suffer from these
conditions. Novel analytical approaches and important clinical trials
challenge the practicing physician to implement translation of those
discoveries into his clinical practice. The gaps that form between new
knowledge and changing paradigms in the practice of medicine can only be
filled with effective dissemination of the emerging information. This
program is designed to provide clinicians with a comprehensive and
practical approach to the diagnosis and management of cardiac
arrhythmias. Its goal is to provide a forum in which practicing
cardiologists are presented with new information in a way that is
conducive to medical education by stimulating effective interaction
between experts in this area and the audience.LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Review evidence-based clinical studies to allow the clinician to better identify optimal candidates for implantable defibrillator therapy.
- Identify clinical attributes most predictive in identifying the best candidates with atrial fibrillation for catheter ablation therapy
- Review “CHADS2” scoring system in identifying patients at highest risk of thromboembolic stroke and consequent need for chronic anticoagulation
- Incorporate evidence-based clinical studies defining the role of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with CHF
TARGET AUDIENCE
This program is designed for cardiologists, internists, primary care physicians and other health care professionals with a special interest in the evaluation, diagnosis and management of patients with cardiac arrhythmias.
