Course Overview Significant advances in the diagnosis and management of heart failure and arrhythmias continue to emerge, compelling the practice of cardiology to constantly evolve. These advances must be consistently implemented into clinical practice to guarantee the best care for patients affected by these cardiovascular conditions. The goal of the conference is for participants to return to their practice equipped with the latest evidence base and practical information to improve patient outcomes.
