Best Practice in the Managment of Patients with Heart Disease

Welcome to the event: Best Practice in the Management of Patients with Heart Disease!

Join us for an engaging one-day course designed specifically for physical and occupational therapists focused on the effective management of patients with heart disease across the care continuum. This course will cover essential disease processes, including hypertension, acute coronary syndrome, valvular disease, and heart failure, with a detailed look at their etiology, pathology, and current medical management strategies.Participants will gain insights into the latest evidence surrounding the interconnected concepts of stability, decompensation, and readmissions in heart disease patients. We will emphasize examination and evaluation techniques, structured clinical decision-making, and evidence-based treatment methods to equip clinicians with a modern best practice approach for managing chronic cardiac conditions. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your skills and improve patient outcomes!
