Cardiology Master Clinician Series

If you do sports physicals, this lecture is a “Can’t-Miss” topic! We’ll cover 5 EKG findings that could have very bad outcomes, including Brugadas Syndrome and Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. You’ll meet a young female who the clinician thought was just anxious, but had something far more ominous. And, we’ll evaluate the EKG of an athlete who “passed out” and was discharged home with a normal workup and died. Plus, we’ll cover specific questions to ask a patient who has palpitations and findings to spot that machine software interpretation will not catch!

Heart failure is a significant cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the United States. Guideline-directed medical therapy for the treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction has been shown to save lives and improve quality of life. An action-packed 30-minute session will provide you with the most up-to-date American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guideline recommendations for the management of heart failure. Join us for this interactive session that will have you managing heart failure like a master clinician!

Getting on a plane for the first time in two years? Worried you may get called upon to assist a fellow passenger needing medical assistance? This webinar is for you. Get 5 important “must know” pearls to effectively and safely respond to inflight medical emergencies. Topics include physiology of air travel, equipment and resources available, and the legalities to keep you informed. Don’t be afraid to answer that call bell next time you hear that call for medical personnel on a flight! 

Have you ever wondered when to worry about the EKG? It is easy when it says STEMI, but how much should you worry about non-specific ST T wave changes—or inverted T waves? Are they safe to wait for a cardiology outpatient visit, or do they need a referral to the emergency room instead?  Join us for a 30-minute journey where we will cover who can wait… and who can’t… and WHY!

Have you noticed that the treatment of heart failure has changed dramatically in the past year? New terminology. New therapies. Having a hard time keeping up with it all? In this 30-minute Master Clinician Series, we’ll discuss what’s in and what’s out with treating adults with chronic heart failure. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to get a handle on the latest therapies to change your practice in just 30 minutes!

Come learn the latest and greatest new additions to our pharmacological toolbox! Take home practical pearls such as the new lipid meds, who they are for, and tips on how to get them covered; the new four pillars of heart failure and the fifth pillar Verquvo; and how calcium scores are saving lives in a big way and how they can help your patient want to start a statin. So be smart about the heart and don’t miss this!

Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of mortality in the US. Secondary prevention efforts focus on addressing elevated lipid levels to reduce morbidity and mortality. Statins have been the mainstay of therapeutic treatment for many years. During this dynamic 30-minute session, we will discuss newer agents that target lowering LDL cholesterol through a variety of mechanisms and how to use these medications in clinical practice. Don’t miss this!

This session will delve into the history of iodine and its role in thyroid hormones. It will transition into an overview of thyroid function testing and provide a broad understanding of these tests and interpretations. Finally, we will go through a few case examples to apply the knowledge gained and implement into clinical practice. Don’t miss this – you’ll be ‘salty’ if you do!

It is axiomatic to target LDL-C levels to lower cardiovascular risk. Over the past four decades, statins have been proven to reduce levels by over 50% and cardiovascular events by up to 30%. However, despite this, there is significant residual cardiovascular risk, LDL-C levels often remain above optimal levels, and there is a significant number of patients who cannot tolerate high-dose statins or any statin. Over the past decade, other lipid-lowering therapies, so-called “non-statins,” have been developed and added to statin or independent of statin (i.e., bempedoic acid), provide additional lipid-lowering and have been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular risk even more. We will review the pathophysiologic mechanism for how lipoproteins contribute to atherosclerotic plaque development, briefly discuss how APO B100 and Lp(a) fit in, review serum lipid level goals, and, through cases, become comfortable knowing how to consider and incorporate non-statin therapies into lipid management to lower cardiovascular risk.
