COVID-19 coverage is presented in a dedicated update as well as threaded throughout the course (as applicable), with faculty providing the latest updates within their specific areas of expertise, including discussion of “chronic” sequelae of COVID-19.

The 2021 program offers you the opportunity to learn:

• Important medical and procedural advances for the management of common clinical problems such as coronary artery disease and heart failure (including heart failure with preserved ejection fraction)
• The latest transcatheter options
• Best practices to treat patients with severe valvular disease
• Important techniques for managing heart disease in pregnancy
• The new paradigms for care of specialized populations, such as adults with congenital heart disease, cardiac patients with cancer, and athletic individuals
• The latest concepts of diagnosis, decision-making, pharmacology, and therapy in the areas of ischemic heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias, and congestive heart failure

The faculty is assembled from the best clinician-educators at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital and is designed to deliver the highest quality educational experience:

• Teaching practical, effective clinical reasoning and approaches that enable you to practice state-of-the-art clinical cardiology
• Allowing ample time for participants to interact with faculty and to pose and get answers to your specific questions
• Providing the latest information in an engaging manner and clinically usable context so that you have knowledge you can “take home” and immediately apply to patient care

OPTIMIZED FOR REMOTE EDUCATION

The 2021 program has been enhanced for distance learning. In addition to being live streamed, all sessions will be recorded and made available to participants for online viewing for 30 days after the end of the course.
