Occurs every 2 weeks on Thursday starting on 7/11/2024 at 6:00 AM

AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (1.00 hours), Other Learner Participation Hours (1.00 hours)

1. Analyze mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonic valve diseases to decide the best treatment plan between transcatheter or surgical approaches.
2. Analyze concomitant coronary artery disease and structural heart disease to decide the best treatment plan between robotic surgical revascularization with transcatheter valvular approach, or proceeding directly with minimally invasive/median sternotomy surgery.
3. Identify indications for implementing multimodality imaging (cardiac CT and MRI for each case based on recommended guidelines and literature).
4. Develop strategies to order appropriate imaging studies for patients.
5. Enhance multidisciplinary and interprofessional team members' collaboration to provide optimal care for patients with complex valvular heart diseases.
6. Utilize advanced diagnostic imaging such as CTs and ECGs, as well as catheter-based and surgical interventions to provide optimal patient care, specific to their needs.
7. Implement the most recent guidelines of the American College of Cardiology (ACC), and American Heart Association (AHA) for managing patients with primary versus secondary mitral regurgitation.
8. Implement ACC/AHA guidelines for patients with asymptomatic severe AS but abnormal LV systolic function based on myocardial interstitial fibrosis on cardiac MRI.
9. Implement current guidelines, clinical recommendations, and imaging techniques to improve early and appropriate referrals and treatment for patients with valvular heart disease.
10. Implement the robust hybrid program in terms of MIDCAB LIMA to LAD and staged transcatheter valvular assessment in patients with prohibitive risk of right thoracotomy or median sternotomy surgeries.
