Care of the Athletic Heart: Contemporary Concepts, Cases and Controversies
In-Person Event
Jun 21 - 23, 2018
Park City, Utah, USA
OVERVIEW
Care of the Athletic Heart: Contemporary Concepts, Cases and Controversies is organized by American College of Cardiology (ACC) Foundation and will be held during Jun 21 - 23, 2018 at Grand Summit Hotel, Park City, Utah, United States of America.
The primary target audience is the clinician who provides cardiovascular care including cardiologists and sports medicine as well as advanced practice providers (NPs, CNS, and PAs) for the professional, occupational, tactical or recreational athlete. The secondary target audience is other clinicians caring for athletes including sports medicine physicians, first responders, and athletic trainers. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 16.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Course Overview :
Sports cardiology is quickly developing beyond the field of elite athlete cardiovascular (CV) care. Recently polled cardiologists indicated they see on average five patient athletes per week. Since the athletic population in recent years has doubled in all major demographic groups, a larger contingent of practice-ready clinicians who understand the contemporary care and practice management strategies is needed. To meet these growing demands for professional, recreational, occupational and tactical athletes, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) will gather experts from around the world.
The ACC’s course, Care of the Athletic Heart: Contemporary Concepts, Cases, and Controversies will connect you with these sports cardiology experts who care for this diverse population of athletes. This year’s course focuses on essential cardiovascular care of athletes across the spectrum but will have a deep dive in the over-35 athlete, with focus on those who exercise during middle-age. Whether a firefighter, collegiate athlete or a 50-year-old marathon runner - the ACC’s Care of the Athletic Heart course will provide you with the contemporary strategies needed to tailor cardiovascular care to athletes and exercising individuals.
Goals and Learner Objectives :
At the end of this course, participants should be able to identify guideline-driven, practical, cardiovascular care strategies for the contemporary athlete including professional, recreational, occupational or tactical patients. In particular, this year the course will focus on high volume patient subsets such as the middle-aged athlete, and the fundamental CV diagnostic and management strategies needed to care for the spectrum of athletes.
Upon completion of this course, learners should be able to:
• Select appropriate diagnostic and management guideline-directed CV care strategies for a broad spectrum of athletic patients.
• Demonstrate appropriate interpretation of an athletic patient’s ECG, including the use of the new International Recommendations for Electrocardiographic Interpretation in Athletes
• Debate the current and continuing controversies in sports cardiology, including pre-participation screening, return-to-play, and cardiomyopathies
• Evaluate CV care strategies that address common problems facing the middle-aged athlete including nutrition, statin, and steroid use.
• Compare and contrast arrhythmia disorders including managing atrial fibrillation in the aging endurance athlete
• Collaborate with colleagues and faculty experts to improve and personalize practice-ready solutions
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
