• Compare surgical, transcatheter, and medical treatment strategies for complex cardiovascular conditions including valvular heart disease, coronary artery disease, and cardiogenic shock.
• Apply multidisciplinary heart team decision-making to patient cases involving aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valve disease, atrial fibrillation, and coronary interventions.
• Identify emerging technologies, procedural techniques, and pharmacologic therapies that optimize outcomes in structural heart and interventional cardiology.
