Our goal is to educate the participants in the topics of genetic cardiomyopathies, heart failure and VADs, advanced aortic disease, mitral valve disease, and postoperative atrial fibrillation. Additional topics will include the prevention of stroke during cardiac surgery, implementation science, examining the opioid epidemic and improving inclusion, equality and diversity.


We will also discuss the history of the NHLBI Cardiac Surgical Network Clinical Trials (CTSN), it’s successes, study outcomes and future trials as well as hurdles to overcome when conducting clinical trials. The program will be taught by members of Penn Medicine and CHI St. Vincent faculty, as well as guest speakers from the NHLBI and CTSN.


The course is structured to meet the interests and educational needs of internists, cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and cardiovascular APPs.
