The management of patients with aortic valve disease is constantly evolving, highlighted by innovations in devices, surgical techniques and imaging. In addition, research studies and clinical trials are continually expanding the evidence base related to management decisions and interventions. This educational activity will offer a comprehensive platform for healthcare professionals to explore the latest evidence-based practices, procedural techniques, and collaborative strategies critical for managing patients with aortic valve disease.

Who Should Attend?

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

Learning Objectives

• Evaluate the clinical presentation and management strategies for patients with aortic valve disease by incorporating patient-specific considerations, timing of intervention and risk stratification.
• Analyze the strengths and limitations of various imaging modalities for diagnosing and guiding the treatment of aortic valve disease.
• Describe the current state-of-the-art and emerging therapeutic options for aortic valve disease, emphasizing evidence-based and patient-centered care.
• Incorporate interprofessional approaches to optimize outcomes for patients undergoing transcatheter and surgical interventions.
• Navigate the management and ethical dilemmas in the management of elderly and medically complex patients with aortic valve disease.
