WebcastFaculty
OVERVIEW
Beyond the Device: Comprehensive Care of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Patients is organized by University of North Texas (UNT) Health Science Center Continuing Education and will be held during Jun 28, 2016 - Jun 28, 2018.
The target audience for this medical event is to meet the educational needs of physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, social workers and other healthcare professionals. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 1.20 Contact Hours.
Conference Description :
The implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) has emerged from clinical trials as “the treatment of choice” vs. medications alone for potentially lethal ventricular arrhythmias. However, cardiac illness and device based care, such as ICDs, may prompt symptoms of anxiety and depression. The inter-relationship between psychological and physical health will be reviewed and specific strategies for managing the impact of ICD shocks on patient quality of life will be presented.
Conference Objectives are :
• Assess the inter relationship research between arrhythmias and psychological health.
• Prescribe three specific strategies for managing the impact of cardiac disease and device based care on patient quality of life (QOL).
• Recognize at risk groups for psychological difficulties in ICD patients.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
