Novel interventions in cardiovascular disease: Controversies & hot issues

As a PACE member you are cordially invited to participate in our second PACE Snapshot meeting.

See updated agenda below

This PACE snapshot meeting is an initiative of the PACE foundation as part of its mission, which includes the review, exchange and assimilation of important new data underlying cardiovascular disease & diabetes and accelerate this information into clinical practice.

The aim of this meeting is to provide expert physicians with a state of the art and comprehensive overview of different novel interventions in the future management of cardiovascular disease, and a platform for discussion, debate and exchange.

The session is designed in a format with multiple short introductions by leading experts, covering a broad field of innovations in cardiovascular risk factor management, such as hypertension, lipid management, ACS, atrial fibrillation, anticoagulation and diabetes, including time for discussion and debate.
 

Meeting objectives

• To review and discuss new data and developments on the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease and its relevance to treatment strategies and outcomes.
• To understand the pharmacologic and clinical rationale for various new treatment options in the management of cardiovascular disease.
• To develop a consensus on practical guidelines for clinical management of the CHD disease patient.
