- Surgical/invasive and pharmacologic treatments for the care of patients with coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and atrial fibrillation.
- Transition of care after hospital discharge for patients with a variety of cardiac issues.
- The role of technological advances in cardiac care that the internal medicine specialist may use in patient care: electrocardiography, echocardiography, cardiac CT imaging, cardiac MRI, cardiac PET scan, wearable cardiac rhythm monitoring devices, and laboratory testing.
- When to suspect and how to evaluate and treat the patient with cardiac amyloid.
- The latest approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral vascular disease.
