CIMIT Cardiovascular Conference 2008
HIGH-RISK PLAQUES: Detection and Management
May 3-4, 2008
The Colonnade Hotel
Boston, Massachusetts
Conference Overview
This course will cover evolving concepts and novel methods for the identification of and therapy for patients at highest risk for developing myocardial infarction and stroke. Traditional diagnostic methods have proven invaluable for the management of atherosclerotic disease. Despite this, atherosclerotic diseases remain the leading killer of Americans. A major reason for this may lie in our limited ability to identify patients at highest risk for developing myocardial infarction and stroke. An enhanced understanding of methods and therapies to detect and treat such vulnerable patients will be offered through this course.
