2 October 22-24, th Annual Symposium CardiologyFOR THE PRACTITIONER Yosemite National Park will be the site for the 29th Annual course, Cardiology for the Practitioner. This three-day symposium is an intensive course designed for internists, primary care physicians, family practitioners, cardiologists, and other health care providers who encounter patients with various heart diseases. Recent advances in pathophysiology, treatment, and clinical relevance of common cardiovascular disorders will be presented. Emphasis will be placed on the frequently encountered clinical problems in cardiac patients by primary care physicians. There will be state-of-the-art and comprehensive reviews on coronary risk factors, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease, acute and chronic ischemic syndromes, heart disease in women and pregnancy, syncope, atrial fibrillation, aortic valve disease and heart failure. Special emphasis will be placed on review of traditional and emerging cardiac risk factors with an emphasis on primary and secondary prevention strategies. In addition, we will discuss updates and critical review of newer diagnostic / imaging modalities, use of newer therapeutic strategies based on recent clinical trials and emerging interventional strategies. Topics will be discussed pertaining to reviews on recent clinical trials and practice guidelines in the management of hypertension, dyslipidemia, stable angina, unstable angina, atrial fibrillation, heart failure and heart disease in pregnancy. This year's program will be devoted to topics of clinical relevance in practice. The program will include special emphasis on cost-effective, office-based evaluation of common symptoms as well as typical cardiac conditions. Special features of the program this year will include a workshop on ECG interpretation and cardiac auscultation. Throughout this course, efforts will be made to provide the clinician with practical knowledge required for the management of cardiac patients by the clinician. Emphasis will be placed on selection of evidence-based, cost-effective therapies in the current climate of cost-containment in health care.

3 EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this course, the attendees will be better able to: Recognize the latest advances in the management of patients with acute coronary syndromes; Understand the appropriateness of immediate coronary intervention in ACS; Apply the newer treatment modalities for patients with chronic ischemic syndromes; Apply guideline based therapy for hypertension; Understand the role of diabetes in CVD and compare benefits versus risks of statin therapy; Identify residual risk despite statin therapy in patients with CHD; Better evaluate patients with valvular heart disease; Apply cardiovascular risk reduction strategies in clinical practice; Identify the role of non-traditional risk factors for CHD; Identify indications and limitation for ambulatory BP monitoring and stress testing; Evaluate special situations in women with heart disease and pregnancy; Identify causes and treatment modalities for ventricular arrhythmias in normal hearts; Diagnose valvular heart disease and various murmurs in patients with CVD; Improve reading skills in electrocardiography; Better manage patients with advance heart failure; Identify indications and cost considerations for mechanical device therapy in CHF; Appropriately administer diagnostic tests/interventions in patients with CVD; Better understand various treatment strategies and the role of newer anticoagulants in atrial fibrillation.
