Statement of Need:
Cardiovascular science is constantly evolving, with both new discoveries and new therapies being published each year. This educational activity will provide the cardiovascular professional team with an update on a selected number of high-priority items identified from environmental scanning, with discussion of both the science and evidence behind current recommendations.
Topics emphasized at this session will include: Non-Invasive Imaging in Coronary Syndromes-New Multi-Society Recommendations; Female-Specific Factors that Influence a Woman’s Lifespan; Management of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in 2022; Mechanisms of Exercise Limitation in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fracture; and Integrated Care of Atrial Fibrillation.
This is a great opportunity to bring your whole team for a day of great professional development.
The ACC is our professional association, and each of you, as Oklahoma ACC members, are key components of our state Chapter. We ask that you and your colleagues attend this very important and informative meeting.
