Learning Objectives
Apply evidence-based approaches for primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of cardiovascular disease.
Assess cardiovascular risk and counsel patients on behavior modification, medication adherence, and self-management strategies to reduce risk.
Construct evidence-based diagnostic and treatment plans for common cardiovascular conditions, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, coronary artery disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation, VTE, cerebrovascular disease, and related comorbidities.
Improve diagnostic decision-making through appropriate interpretation and use of ECGs, cardiac imaging, laboratory tests, and risk stratification tools.
Recognize when referral, consultation, or interprofessional collaboration is needed to optimize cardiovascular care.
Use reflection and translation-to-practice tools to identify actionable practice changes and evaluate barriers to implementation.
