Remaining unique among the educational field by providing equal representation of the world’s leaders in Cardiac Surgery and Interventional Cardiology, Florida Valve ’10 will also present information on the strategic direction of the field of valvular heart disease that may enhance practice. Also represented will be Clinical Cardiologists, who are experts in imaging and management of valvular heart disease, as well as authors on the latest ACC/AHA Guidelines for Valvular Heart Disease. This year world experts in Endovascular Therapy of the aorta will be present to enhance the translational knowledge between specialties. These experts bring a wealth of clinical knowledge and will provide the latest on diagnosis and surgical and percutaneous interventions. With faculty equally represented by the foremost leaders in Cardiac Surgery, Cardiology and Endovascular Therapy together in a dynamic and personal interchange, the audience will not only learn the current advances in treatment of valvular heart disease but will enjoy lively and direct personal on-on-one discussions with the faculty in an open and friendly environment. | | | Location: | Ritz Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes Orlando, FL USA | | | Contact Name(s): | Tampa Bay Heart Foundation | | | Director(s): | Vinay Badhwar, MD and Randolph Martin, MD, FASE | | | Sponsor: | ASE and Tampa Bay Heart Foundation | | | Phone: | 727-522-9379 | | | Email: | mailto:info@tbhfoundation.org | | | Web Address: | www.tbhfoundation.org | | | | | | | | |

Time has also been allowed for participants to ask questions as well as interact closely with the course faculty. Participants will have the opportunity to attend topic specific breakout sessions on Thursday and Friday allowing participants the opportunity to apply the principles they are learning. Participants will receive a comprehensive syllabus for their future reference. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own calculators to maximize participation in the hemodynamic workshops.
OPTIONAL ECHO IN CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE PROGRAM: Participants are invited to attend a special program focusing on congenital heart disease on Wednesday, April 28, 2010. There will be no additional charge for this continuing education offering and this is included in the number of credit hours offered for this program. This is intended for participants that would like more specific information on congenital heart disease.
