ForwardCardiovascular Risk Reduction
Cardiovascular medicine is one of the most highly evolved clinical fields in the practice of medicine, with primary care clinicians frequently being the frontline cardiovascular care providers. To get superb outcomes, clinicians at the front line need to have a solid map of the territory they are helping their patients navigate. The increasing complexity of diagnostic and treatment modalities has made it more challenging for primary care providers to deal with many cardiac conditions. Join us to hear our panel of experts cover the major aspects of ambulatory cardiovascular care that are germane to a primary care practice.
