Overview

Pre-registration is now closed. On site registration will be available.


It has been well established that cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one killer of individuals in the United States. Despite maximal efforts in prevention and treatment, this number continues to grow year after year. As a consequence, we are treating more and more heart failure (often the end result of chronic CVD) with optimal medical therapy as well as devices to support the failing heart, with as many as 670,000 new cases being diagnosed each and every year. Despite our ever-evolving research and technology into the treatment of this ever-growing patient population, the mortality rate remains high with 50% of patients diagnosed with heart failure dying within 5 years of diagnosis.

Treatment for all patients with cardiovascular disease is becoming more and more complex with emerging technologies treating a sicker and more complex patient population. As these treatment strategies continue to change with advancing research and technology, we need to involve multiple specialties employing a true multidisciplinary approach to treating these patients often with end stage disease and resultant heart failure.

The goal of this symposium is to expose cardiovascular healthcare practitioners to the multitude of disease entities encompassing cardiovascular diseases and demonstrate current and novel treatments elucidated through case presentations and panel discussions.
