With the restructuring of health care in the United States,
one of the major changes in patient care has been a shift from
subspecialty care to primary care. In addition, cardiovascular
disease remains the leading cause of death and disability in the
U.S. As a result, much of the burden of caring for patients with
cardiovascular disease will fall on primary care physicians.
This conference is designed to provide an update in the
diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease for
primary care providers.
At the Cardiology in Primary Care Conference, you will hear
from nationally renowned speakers on a wide variety of topics.
Areas of focus includes stress testing, heart disease in women,
lipid-lowering therapy, atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure
management, and peripheral vascular disease. Panel discussion
with the experts will also highlight key concepts in
cardiovascular disease.
