Overview

Mitral and tricuspid valve assessment, diagnosis, and treatment are rapidly evolving disciplines highlighted by innovations in techniques, devices, and imaging. These developments have altered the clinical practice framework for approaching valve disease quantification and treatments, resulting in some confusion regarding the best management strategies. Further, the volume and complexity of the published data make it difficult for busy practitioners to remain up to date on their knowledge and practice. This educational activity will provide key insights into how to achieve excellent outcomes through best practice management and the selection and execution of surgical and interventional techniques.

By attending, participants will be able to:

• Apply the use of multimodality imaging to assess and manage patients with mitral and tricuspid valve disease
• Discuss the most up-to-date evidence on valve interventions and apply the data to specific patient populations with mitral valve disease
• Describe current and future therapeutic options for the management of valvular heart disease across different disease scenarios
• Employ strategies in the management of atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias in the setting of valvular disease

Who Should Attend?

This course is intended for cardiothoracic surgeons, cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, internists, nurses, physician assistants, and all health care professionals involved in the evaluation, diagnosis and/or management of patients with mitral and tricuspid disease.
