The latest in a continuing series of outreach CME programs designed to update primary care practitioners in the central Queens community with regard to the latest developments in cardiology and to assist in enhancing the integration of these advances into their clinical practices.

There will be three presentations by Mount Sinai Heart faculty with ample time for audience interaction.

1. Review the physiology of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, its aetiologies, and the role of cardiac amyloidosis in many of these cases as well as the pharmacologic options now available to treat it.
2. Acquire an enhanced understanding of the roles of TAVR vs surgical valve replacement in patients with even a low surgical risk and to better guide the patient to the appropriate intervention.
3. Discuss the causes of cardioembolic stroke and learn how to employ the latest technologies available for the detection of cardioembolic sources of stroke and the latest, guideline-directed treatment options to improve patient outcomes.
