Cardiovascular disease continues to dominate our society and remains the number #1 killer worldwide in both men and women. Approximately one-third of total global deaths are a result of the various forms of cardiovascular disease. A cardiovascular disease related event causes a death every minute in the United States; therefore, the field of Cardiovascular Disease in terms of diagnosis and treatment continues to evolve with the final goal of improving the overall care and prognosis of patients suffering from a variety of cardiovascular diseases.

The Top Ten Topics in Clinical Cardiology Symposium is poised to help healthcare professionals stay current on new and emerging approaches in the diagnosis, management and treatment of heart disease. A robust agenda combines individual and collective opinions from expert clinicians and scholars in the field. The ambitious goal is to provide cardiovascular specialists with the education they need in order to improve patient outcomes and reduce morbidity and mortality related to cardiovascular disease.
