Cardiac Testing: What's Best for Your Patient Webcast
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Odds are 1 in 28 of your patients have cardiovascular disease.
This free online CME activity, for AAFP members, will improve your cardiac testing skills so you know who is at risk and how to test them. In less than one hour, you can earn up to 2.75 AAFP Prescribed credits (if you also complete AAFP Translation to Practice™.)
This CME activity is presented by John R. Holman, MD, MPH, FAAFP.
After completing this CME activity, you should be able to:
- Assess common cardiovascular conditions for which different methods of cardiac testing are indicated.
- Interpret the sensitivity, specificity and predictive values of cardiac tests for patients with different risk factors.
- Utilize patient selection criteria to identify appropriate cardiac tests and perform risk stratification or coordinate sub-specialist consultation when necessary.
- Compare and contrast the risks and benefits of including cardiac tests in the scope of practice.
- Coordinate patient care for those who require referral to sub-specialists for enhanced evaluation, testing or treatment.
To be eligible to report CME credit, please complete the full module in one sitting. It will take 50 minutes to complete the module.
