Cardiovascular Disease remains the leading cause of death and morbidity in the United States despite substantial gains in diagnostics, prevention, and treatment.  Cardiovascular healthcare providers are challeneged to determine and recommend the best diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic strategies for their patients.

Major professional practice gaps exist to help clinicians and allied health care personnel practice preventive strategies to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease events.  This CME program will focus on major opportunities to improve cardiovascular health by optimizing diagnosis, prevention and therapy.

The 32nd Annual Cardiology for Clinicians Spring Symposium plans to go well beyond literature and guideline reviews to provide seasoned expert judgement and recommendations of key advances and state of the art cardiovascular care that clinicians require and their patients expect.  URMC's foremost cardiovascular clinicians lead the program's lectures, Q & A, case presentations and interactive breakout sessions.
