Heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in America and doctors face many challenges treating this and associated heart and vascular conditions. Renown is hosting a three-day conference to discuss the latest in cardiac care.
Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine
Doctors and healthcare providers across the region are gathering for the 33rd Annual Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine Conference Nov. 3rd – 5that the Everline Resort & Spa in Olympic Valley, California, hosted by Renown Institute for Heart & Vascular Health and the Nevada Academy of Family Physicians.
The three-day conference educates primary care providers, nurses and all other physicians and healthcare personnel interested in the most recent advances and current established guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, stroke and diseases or problems associated with heart disease.
It is also a chance for medical providers to ask first-hand questions on a variety of trending topics ranging from the practical evaluation and management of obesity to interpreting echocardiograms in primary care.
The conference objectives include:
Identifying clinical clues suggesting a diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis.
Gaining a better understanding why the differential diagnosis and patient history is key to evaluating patients with syncope.
Assessing the accuracy and effectiveness of various tests and tools used in atrial fibrillation screening.
Determining the appropriate diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension.
Describing the evolving lipid management landscape.

Heart disease affects more women than many people realize. In fact, it is the leading cause of death among women in the U.S., taking the lives of about 305,000 women each year. That’s about 1 in every 3 female deaths.
Renown Vascular Care Transforms High Blood Pressure Treatment
Nearly half of Americans over age 20 have high blood pressure—also known as hypertension—and many are unaware of their condition. Without proper management, hypertension significantly increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.
As the region’s only not-for-profit academic health system and a leader in cardiology care, we are dedicated to advancing both clinical and technological expertise. Effectively treating hypertension, including resistant cases, is essential to meeting our community’s needs and offering essential and advanced care options.
