Advanced Strategies to Improve CVD Outcomes in Patients with Chronic Coronary Artery Disease and Peripheral Artery Disease
Target Audience:
Cardiologists, primary care providers, nurses, NPs, PAs, pharmacists, and other members of an interprofessional care team involved in the management of CAD/PAD
Program Overview:
This CME/CE activity will outline advanced strategies for improving cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes in patients with chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral artery disease (PAD). The expert faculty, chaired by Dr. Christopher P. Cannon, will first provide an introduction and state of the science of CAD and PAD and transition into a review of the role of anticoagulants in preventive cardiology. Recent clinical trial data, particularly that of anticoagulants + aspirin combination therapeutic strategies, will be reviewed as it relates to clinical decision making for healthcare professionals. Finally, the interactive panel will cover the role of the interprofessional team in providing optimal, tailored treatment plans to improve CVD outcomes and quality of life for patients with CAD and PAD.
