Statement of needPhysicians and cardiac care associates are required to maintain up-to-date knowledge of the latest clinical developments in the practice of cardiology to improve patient outcomes. The Ohio Chapter-ACC Annual Meeting will include education that provides needs-based learning covering a thorough overview of pregnant women and heart disease, LVADS, surgery and non-surgical options, quality indicators, arrhythmias and pulmonary hypertension.

Overall goalIncrease aptitude about quality indicators and improve competence of proficiency in clinical decision-making to bring about quality patient care.

learner Objectives:Upon completion of this program, participants should be able to:

■ Decrease maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity in pregnant women with pre-existing heart disease by improving diagnosis, management and appropriate counseling.

■ Reduce complications of non-cardiac surgery by reviewing evidence-based guidelines.

■ Discuss ways to provide patients with heart failure with appropriate referrals for LVADS.

■ Analyze how to provide patients with pulmonary hypertension with appropriate diagnosis and optimal management.

■ Improve morbidity and mortality by appropriate use of cardiac robotic surgery.

■ Recognize and differentiate between benign vs. malignant forms of ventricular arrhythmias and to understand when non-ICD therapy is appropriate and even preferred in the treatment of ventricular tachycardia in order to improve outcomes and prevent sudden death.

Target AudienceAdult Cardiologists, Pediatric Cardiologists, Cardiothoracic Surgeons, Cardiology Fellows-in-TrainingThe entire cardiac care team including but not limited to:Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Physician Assistants, Pharmacists
