Virtual Conference

April 6, 2022

NEEDS STATEMENT
As medical research and technology change rapidly, it is increasingly important for physicians and healthcare professionals to stay informed of new evidence. Newly learned pathways can be used as potential mechanisms and alternative strategies in new research applications. In addition, topics on how to apply new diagnostic and imaging techniques can create opportunities for collaboration with the developers of these techniques in new research protocols. This symposium is designed as a platform to share and discuss state-of-the-art ongoing, innovative, and new cardiovascular research with the ultimate goal of translating research into clinical practice.

TARGET AUDIENCE
Physicians, Fellows, Residents, Trainees, Physician Assistants, and Nurses/Nurse Practitioners specializing in cardiovascular research and care, and all other practitioners interested in cardiovascular sciences

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of the activity, participants should be able to:

• Summarize the molecular mechanisms of oxygen homeostasis

• Explain the signaling role of lysosomal metabolism in regulating longevity

• Discuss the role of DNA damage in the development of aortic aneurysm and dissection

• Describe vascular heterogeneity and functional specialization across different organs

EDUCATIONAL METHODS
Lecture and Question & Answer

EVALUATION
An evaluation by questionnaire will address program content, presentation, and possible bias.
