Course Learning Objectives

Upon conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

Describe the etiology of restrictive cardiomyopathies to diagnose and manage patients effectively

Recognize and diagnose venous thromboembolism (VTE) 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

Identify the classification of antiarrhythmic agents based on mechanisms of action

Explain the physiologic changes that occur with pregnancy

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.
