Advances in the treatment and management of heart failure and structural heart disease continue to emerge, compelling the practice of cardiology to constantly evolve. These advances must be implemented into clinical practice to guarantee the best care for patients affected various cardiovascular conditions. Expert faculty will cover a wide range of topics including the management and state-of-the-art treatment for heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias as well as the latest transcatheter structural heart disease interventional procedures. Participants will return to their practice equipped with the latest evidence base and practical information to improve patient outcomes.

After attending this live activity, participants should be able to:

• Incorporate recent guidelines for the assessment and management of patients with heart failure into practice.
• Evaluate numerous device-based therapies for managing heart rhythm disorders.
• Outline best practices for stroke risk management in patients with atrial fibrillation.
• Integrate new medical, percutaneous, device-based, and surgical therapies for the treatment of heart failure.
• Identify complications of catheter-based therapies for structural heart disease and safely manage them with various procedural techniques.
• Select the appropriate type and size device for LAA closure, PFO closure, and other structural interventions.
• Incorporate techniques for transcatheter mitral valve repair, PFO, and LAA closure.
