Overview

Evidence-Based Cardiology CME: Strategies for ACHD

Adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) are a rapidly growing, frequently underserved population who present new challenges in cardiology patient management. In Cleveland Clinic Comprehensive Lifetime Care of Adult Congenital Heart Disease — an online video CME course — presenters address the latest clinical and research advances in congenital anomaly morphologies.

Evidence-based lectures focus on the best diagnostic modalities and interventions, as well as the most appropriate management strategies. You get continuing medical education that will improve your ability to:

Assess right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction, including clinical evaluation and interventional, surgical, and hybrid options
Assess and manage adults who underwent Fontan surgery, including imaging, treatment options, and timing of valve interventions, Fontan conversion, and heart failure therapies
Assess and treat patients with Fontan-associated liver disease
Recognize social and patient-perceived barriers that complicate the diagnosis and life-long management of ACHD
Detail the highly complex ecosystem of adult congenital heart care and describe how new guidelines may shape care in the future
