Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular Online Board Review provides the internist and cardiologist with an overview of all aspects of cardiovascular medicine. Well-known experts in each field will give in-depth didactic presentations on state-of-the-art subjects in cardiovascular medicine. This review course is designed specifically to prepare the cardiovascular specialist for the cardiovascular boards and/or recertification. This course will also provide the internist or practicing cardiologist with an update on the latest knowledge and advances in cardiovascular medicine. The Echo Focus Session is part of the enduring program as well. Please Note: The Echo Focus portion is “bonus” material and not intended for use for studying for the boards.
Course Learning Objectives
Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Describe the etiology and pathophysiology of restrictive and other non-dilated cardiomyopathies and use this information to effectively diagnose and manage patients.
- Recognize and diagnose venous thromboembolism (VTE) and pulmonary embolism, using the appropriate algorithm for VTE diagnosis based on a pretest probability of disease assessment strategy.
- Identify cardiovascular disease risk factors in patients without known CAD and use them to predict the risk of future coronary events.
- Identify the classification and mechanisms of action of antiarrhythmic agents.
- Explain the physiologic changes that occur with pregnancy.
Echo Focus Session Learning Objectives
- Utilize Echo and Doppler information for management of patients with various cardiovascular
conditions - Identify new echocardiographic modalities for clinical use such as tissue Doppler and strain imaging
- Recognize common and unusual cardiovascular conditions confidently by echocardiography
Target Audience
This enduring program is designed for, but not limited to, cardiologists, cardiovascular fellows, and general internists. Although this program is designed specifically to prepare the cardiovascular specialist for the cardiovascular boards and/or recertification, it will also provide the practicing cardiologist or internist with an update on the latest knowledge and advances in cardiovascular medicine.
