This three-day symposium is an intensive course designed for internists, primary care physicians, family practitioners, cardiologists, and other health care providers who encounter patients with various heart diseases. During the last three years (the COVID-19 pandemic era) a tremendous amount of new research has become available highlighting the importance of diabetes in heart disease & heart failure as well as newer approaches for common arrhythmias, like atrial fibrillation and the role of multiple newer drugs in these settings. During the 3 days, these will be discussed in detail as well as recent advances in pathophysiology, therapeutic considerations, and clinical relevance of common cardiovascular disorders will be presented. Emphasis will be placed on the recent practice guidelines and updates for common cardiovascular conditions. The entire course will focus on frequently encountered clinical problems in cardiac patients by practicing physicians. • There will be state-of-the-art and comprehensive reviews on the evaluation and management of coronary risk factors, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and coronary artery disease, syncope, atrial fibrillation, valvular heart disease. Special focus will be placed on review of traditional and emerging cardiac risk factors highlighting primary and secondary prevention strategies. In addition, we will discuss updates and critical review of newer diagnostic imaging modalities, use of newer therapeutic strategies based on recent clinical trials, and emerging interventional techniques for CVD. • Lastly, topics will be discussed pertaining to reviews on recent clinical trials and practice guidelines in the management of hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus atrial fibrillation, valvular heart disease, syncope, the role of device therapy in HF.
