7th Annual Update on Interventional Cardiology

Friday, April 20, 2018, 7:30 AM - 3:30 PM, New Haven Lawn Club


The landscape of medicine is constantly changing, and for the past 40 years, interventional cardiologists were involved in cardiac intervention advancement. While no treatment is risk free, the risks of interventional procedures are far lower than the risks of open surgery, and are a major advancement in medicine for patients. Ongoing educational interventions are essential for practicing clinicians to stay abreast of this rapidly changing area of cardiology particularly as it relates to differences associated with age, gender and ethnicity.

1. Utilize advances in interventional cardiology to identify suitable strategies and achieve successful outcomes in the elderly
2. Discuss advances in clinical research particularly relating to outcomes associated with the elderly
3. Apply the latest tools in improving the management of elderly patients presenting with atrial fibulation, heart failure, PAD
