Advancing Cardiovascular Care of the Oncology Patient 2018
OVERVIEW
Advancing Cardiovascular Care of the Oncology Patient is organized by American College of Cardiology (ACC) Foundation and will be held during Feb 16 - 18, 2018 at The Ritz-Carlton, Washington, D.C., Washington, Dist Of Col, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is the cardiologist and cardiovascular advanced team members who are emerging into the field of cardio-oncology, specifically those providing cardiovascular clinical care to patients with cancer and cancer survivors.
Conference Description:
The overall goal of this course is to provide clinically relevant, state-of-the-art, best practice strategies in the assessment, diagnosis and management of cardiovascular concerns for patients with cancer and/or those requiring survivorship care.
Conference Objectives are:
• Identify common cancer treatment therapies such as anthracyclines, Herceptin, and VEGF inhibitors role in cancer treatment, mechanism of action including cardiotoxicity and resulting cardiovascular disease impact.
• Recognize appropriate imaging modalities to assess cardiotoxicity, and distinguish the strengths and weaknesses of each cardiac monitoring modality, including echocardiography, strain, CT, MRI, and nuclear imaging
• Evaluate guidelines from the cardiology and oncology societies and how to incorporate into clinical practice
• Identify the cardiovascular concerns with newer cancer therapies including strategies for monitoring and treating cardiotoxicity and oncologic therapy
• Analyze the long-term surveillance and management plan critical for patients who have received high-risk systemic therapies such as anthracyclines and those treated with thoracic radiation
• Evaluate best practices for monitoring patients receiving cardiotoxic cancer therapies and know how to integrate findings into cardiovascular care plans.
• Identify optimal pharmacologic and lifestyle interventions to be instituted for cancer patients and survivors
• Identify best practices when developing the cardio-oncology team and building organizational frameworks
