“This is the best course in terms of current, state-of-the-art information and careful, thoughtful evaluation about how to apply it.”
"My subspecialty is EP but the information related to management of HF and CAD patients will be invaluable to my overall understand of patient care."
“Having attended this program, I am more confident treating pregnant patients with concomitant cardiac disease.”
“This course has influenced my practice in too many ways to mention! Among them: avoiding enteric coated aspirin, making better use of the guidelines for evaluation/stress tests, and making better decisions regarding DAPT as well as NOACs.”
"The clinically useful knowledge presented in this course, especially concerning syncope, cardiac markers, PE and AF was truly exceptional."
"Cutting-edge information was presented in every lecture."
“I follow the expert info/guidelines presented at this course, especially for DAT as well as anticoagulation duration for recurrent PE/DVT.”
“I have made changes to my practice in the current control of hypertension, lipidemias, and peripheral vascular disease.”

“I count on and look forward to this course every year to benchmark my practice and to stay current and skilled.”
"Update in Clinical Cardiology was an excellent course given by physicians dedicated to their specialty and truly experts in their field."
"The degree of evidence-based practice and recent research discussed and incorporated into recommendations was exceptional."
"It is always a great pleasure to hear from physicians who actually see patients and have clinical experience and recognize evidence rather than merely following guidelines."
"I rely on this course for my yearly update for the 'best practice' of current/contemporary clinical cardiology." "
"The research on exercise and the heart and RNA as well as the cardio-oncology information was cutting edge."
"As an internist working as a hospitalist in a 25-bed critical access hospital, I will utilize the clinically practical information provided in the course: the cardiac markers, new management of HF, management of ACS, and excellent information on syncope."
"After this course, I am confident that I will appropriately use diagnostic and therapeutic tools to treat patients with cardiovascular disease."
"I am now more up to date with diagnostic and treatment decisions."
"I have changed my management of the lipid panel and made adjustments to statin therapy."
"After this course, I am dosing medications differently."
"This course provided me with excellent resources to provide for statistical data for treatment (pharmacological and intervention/procedures), and up-to-date imaging recommendations."
"I now make better use of new developments in percutaneous valves and NOACs."
"My practice has implemented the new guidelines referable to management of CAD/dyslipidemia."
"I have instituted more aggressive anticoagulation of elderly AFib patients, and pay closer attention to potential cardiac diagnoses in younger patients presenting with what seems like initially non-cardiac symptoms."
