What you'll learn
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Analyze current evidence-based guidance for preventing, diagnosing, and managing heart disease, including lifestyle interventions, pharmacologic therapy, and advanced/interventional approaches.
- Evaluate cardiovascular risk factors to create personalized prevention plans by integrating biopsychosocial factors and health equity into shared decision-making.
- Identify factors affecting breathing and rehab participation with brief structural screening, integrating these whole-person findings into standard cardiac care.
- Develop evidence-based recovery plans that utilize graded activity, interdisciplinary referrals, and digital health tools to monitor patient outcomes and adjust follow-up care.
Course overview
Heart disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, requiring healthcare providers to stay informed on the latest evidence-based guidelines and recommendations for prevention and treatment. Advances in diagnostic tools, therapeutic options, and lifestyle interventions offer significant opportunities to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease, yet many providers face challenges in navigating these updates amidst a rapidly evolving clinical landscape. This course provides a comprehensive synthesis of current research and professional guidelines, equipping healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to implement effective strategies for risk reduction, early detection, and management of heart disease. By addressing both clinical and patient-centered approaches, this training fosters improved outcomes and empowers providers to deliver high-quality, evidence-driven care.
