This
course will provide delegates with a review of current treatment
regimes and guidelines in selected areas of cardiovascular medicine.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn how cardiovascular
clinical trial results influence prescribing. Our experienced speakers
will discuss the strengths, limitations, and the actual and/or potential
impact, of key clinical trials on prescribing practice. Patient
presentations and treatment algorithms will provide worked examples
to reinforce the lecture content.
Detailed consideration will be given to a number of disease areas,
including dyslipidaemias, myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure
and vascular disease. Clinical trials investigating current treatments
for these diseases, including statins, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers
and anti-platelet therapy, will be analysed and examples will be
drawn from primary and secondary care. The implications of coronary
artery disease in diabetes will also be discussed.
The programme will conclude with an overview of the challenge of
using the evidence base in developing future strategies for the
treatment of cardiovascular disease.
