Program Description
How is the standard of care for patients with MI being redefined in 2005? In these live, interactive dinner forums, two national cardiovascular experts present results from recent clinical trials that may impact future guidelines. Topics include the first major milestone in over a decade for incremental pharmacologic reperfusion and mortality reduction in STEMI; fine points in choosing PCI versus thrombolysis in STEMI; the role of troponins, hs-CRP, and other CV risk markers in targeting therapies in UA/NSTEMI; and interpreting the latest results from drug-eluting stent trials. A community cardiovascular expert from your area will join the national faculty to discuss how to incorporate new evidence-based medicine into actionable critical pathways at your own hospital. “Late-breaking” reports and an illustrative case study presentation provide additional clinical perspective.
