CONFERENCE OVERVIEW

Cardiologists around the world look to the ACC for advancing cardiovascular science and knowledge, but reaching physicians where they live and work is essential to elevating patient care and improving heart health. Join the great minds of the cardiovascular profession for a spectacular educational experience delivered with the unique perspective of clinical practice within a region. The ACC Latin America Conference 2016 brings together cardiovascular professionals for two-and-a-half-days of interactive education that is both locally relevant and highly practical.

By attending, you will experience:

Local - Educational topics tailored to the needs of the Latin America region such as acute coronary syndrome, heart failure, arrhythmias, hypertension, valvular disease and prevention

Relevant - Opportunities to assess your knowledge across cardiology (Great for fellows-in-training!)

STATEMENT OF NEED

Advances in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) have yielded remarkably positive results, with a steady decline in CVD mortality across the globe. However, despite this remarkable progress, CVD remains the leading cause of death throughout the world and its prevalence remains high, making it a global public health priority and an intensive focus of research. Such research has led to new evidence that continues to accrue about the underlying pathophysiology as well as strategies to enhance CVD prevention, evaluation and treatment. As care of the patient with CVD becomes more complex, it is imperative that cardiovascular professionals have an opportunity for a comprehensive review of evidence-based practices and exposure to state-of-the-art updates, innovative techniques and translational research on the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease.
