Advancing the Cardiovascular Care of the Oncology Patient — Virtual

Advancing the Cardiovascular Care of the Oncology Patient provides clinicians and researchers with the tools needed to improve patient care in your everyday practice. This educational experience designed for you to stay on the leading edge of this rapidly evolving field! Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the United States, exceeded only by heart disease, with an estimated 1.8 million new cases in 2020. Cancer treatment can have a diverse array of long-term and late effects, including cardiovascular events such as heart failure, valvular disease, coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, peripheral arterial disease, and thromboembolic events. In this contemporary treatment era, cardiologists, oncologists, and the entire interprofessional team need to understand the different types of cancers and cancer therapies (e.g., cytotoxic chemotherapy, radiation therapy, transplantation, targeted and immune therapies) and their associated cardiovascular risks, to help mitigate the associated cardiovascular complications. Join us virtually as we share emerging strategies and best practices in managing cardiovascular health of cancer patients.
Want to attend in person? Join us for Advancing the Cardiovascular Care of the Oncology Patient at ACC's Heart House in Washington, DC to reconnect with your peers and the faculty and stay at the leading edge of this rapidly evolving field.
Target Audience
This educational activity is intended to address the educational needs for cardiologists, oncologists, internists, pharmacists, nurses, and all members of the interprofessional care team who advance the clinical care of, and conduct clinical research that is relevant to, the growing population of cancer patients and survivors at risk for, or suffer from, cardiovascular disease.
Goal
The goal of this course is to equip the global cardio-oncology community with actionable science to advance patient-centered, evidence-based cardiovascular and cancer care.
Learning Objectives
- Discuss the different types, oncologic indications, and mechanisms of action of conventional and modern cancer therapies, their associated cardiotoxicities, and the risks of developing cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease.
- Implement clinical, imaging and biomarker-guideline recommendations regarding risk stratification and monitoring strategies to detect cardiovascular risk in the oncology patient who have been treated with high cardiovascular risk systemic therapies.
- Apply evidence-based strategies for short- and long-term management of cardiotoxicities in patients with active cancer and survivors who have been treated with high cardiovascular risk systemic therapies.
- Summarize the evidence behind the role of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions in the prevention and management of cardiotoxicity.
- Identify the overlap between cancer and cardiovascular disease, independent of the cardiotoxicity of cancer therapies, such as clonal hematopoiesis, epidemiologic risk factors, and basic mechanisms.
- Describe the pathophysiologic basis of amyloidosis, as well as diagnostic and treatment strategies.
- Design an interprofessional cardio-oncology care team and a framework to improve the overall cardiovascular care of cancer patients and survivors.
- Describe the impact of health disparities, genomic ancestry, and social determinants of health in cardiovascular disease and cancer outcomes.
