Exosomes & Cardiovascular Disease - Single Course

Exosomes & Cardiovascular Disease - Single Course is organized by Age Management Medicine Group (AMMG).

Credits:  0.5 CME

Description:
Lecture begins with a detailed review of the current literature regarding exosomes and the Cardiovascular system. Then switch gears and discuss how exosomes can be used in your clinical practice. (1) The therapeutic and diagnostic role of exosomes in cardiovascular diseases will be discussed. This will include how exosomes and exosomal miRNAs are involved in cardiovascular protection and repair. Review of the bioactive molecules in exosomes and the various forms of miRNA and their roles in CVD. Exosomes and atherosclerosis, heart failure, cardiac regeneration, cardiomyopathy, their roles as functional CVD biomarkers and in gene therapy. Potential application of exosomes in drug delivery. Understanding the Paracrine Effects Exerted by Exosomes Secreted from Cardiac Cells in Cardiovascular Disease. The potential challenges and future perspectives in the use of exosomes for clinical cardiac applications. Combination therapies using exosomes and peptides in various cardiovascular conditions such as acute coronary syndromes, chronic coronary artery disease, hypertensive cardiovascular disease and congestive heart failure will also be reviewed. (2) I will review a turnkey solution to assist the cardiologist/health care provider in utilizing the technology of Exosomes in their office based medical practice to treat both acute and chronic cardiovascular conditions such as ischemic heart disease, peripheral vascular disease and hypertension. This will include a patient data management tool for your health care environment using a cloud-based system that allows patient data security via HIPAA compliant server, which may be customized to your facility’s unique clinical setting. This solution affords the opportunity to deliver regenerative care using FDA compliant and safe cellular based options to treat unmet patient needs, thus legitimizing regenerative therapies for your clinical practice.

Course Objectives:
• Explain the evidence-based science behind the use of Exosomes as an adjunct to an Age Management Medicine practice in the areas of biomarkers, ways of treating disease and use of targeted delivery vehicles for therapeutic molecules.
• Learn essential scientific information for the use of Exosomes in Age Management Medicine and how to clinically apply this knowledge to individualized treatment plans to improve outcomes.
• Understand how Exosomes can be applied clinically to various areas such as cardiac health, cancer, retinal and optic nerve conditions and gastrointestinal diseases.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
