17th Annual Cardiovascular Disease Update

Two-day session entitled the "17th Annual Update on Cardiovascular Disease" will be held on Oct 4-5, 2024, at the Tinkham Veale University Center at Case Western Reserve University. This highly-anticipated annual event will feature the very latest treatments available for every facet of cardiovascular disease. Day 1 is a dinner and challenging vascular case-based discussion featuring debates among vascular surgeons, interventional cardiologists, and vascular disease physicians. Day 2 is a full-day symposium with five tracks covering prevention and cardiovascular indications for GLP-1 RAs, drug-coated balloons in the coronary space, asymptomatic carotid artery disease, leadless pacemakers, management of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and much more. The event's Plenary Session will feature Dr Joaquin Cigarroa from the Oregon Health Sciences University, who will discuss "The Cost of Innovation in Healthcare." Participants can attend either or both days. The target audience includes cardiologists, endocrinologists, vascular surgeons, internists and family practitioners as well as advanced care providers (NPs and PAs) who direct large clinical practices and/or teach in academic medical institutions. At the end of the conference, participants will be fully capable of taking this new information back to their communities and sharing it with their colleagues.
