36th Annual Cardiology at Big Sky

It is reported that over 81 million Americans have one or more forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and over 870,000 Americans die of cardiovascular diseases – diseases of both the heart and the vascular blood system – each year. Although largely preventable conditions are more common among people aged 65 or older, the number of sudden deaths from heart disease among people aged 15–34 has steadily increased. This course is designed to provide diverse and current education that will keep medical professionals abreast of the issues affecting the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of CVD.

This unique five-day course is renowned for its close interactions between faculty and learners. A comprehensive overview of current problems in cardiovascular medicine and surgery is combined with focused symposia, case vignettes and state-of-the-art lecture presentations. A distinguished faculty will lead discussions on a variety of issues facing today’s cardiovascular providers. Topics range from prevention strategies to the latest in lifestyle modification, lipid and hypertension guidelines, end stage heart failure, arrhythmia management, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, congenital heart disease and acute coronary syndrome management. Faculty will emphasize incorporating best practices and quality, including practical application of practice guidelines, into care.
