Join us in person in Washington, DC for Advancing the Cardiovascular Care of the Oncology Patient taking place Feb. 9 – 11. This is an interdisciplinary and interspecialty course to provide clinicians and researchers with the tools needed to improve the cardiovascular (CV) health of cancer patients in your everyday practice.
Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the United States, exceeded only by heart disease, with an estimated 1.9 million new cases in 2022. Cancer treatment can have a diverse array of long-term and late effects, including CV 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.
Register today to join leading experts, course chairs Ana Barac, MD, PhD, FACC and Bonnie Ky, MD, MSCE, FACC and course vice chair Richard Cheng, MD, FACC in person at the Heart House in Washington, DC Feb. 9 – 11 as they share emerging strategies and best practices to manage the health of cancer patients. This educational experience is designed for you to stay on the leading edge of this rapidly evolving field!

Goal
The goal of this course is to equip the cardio-oncology community with practical scientific knowledge fostering the progression of patient-centered, evidence-based, collaborative cardiovascular and cancer care for patients living with and beyond cancer.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the oncologic indications, mechanisms of action, and cardiotoxicity risk of specific therapies that comprise the pillars of cancer treatment such as chemotherapy, immune therapy, targeted therapy, and radiation.
- Define the evidence supporting clinical, imaging, and biomarker-guideline recommendations regarding risk stratification and monitoring strategies in cancer patients treated with potentially cardiotoxic therapies, with a focus on practical applications.
- Apply evidence-based pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic strategies to mitigate and actively manage the short- and long-term cardiotoxicity risk in patients living with and beyond cancer.
- Recognize the mechanistic and epidemiologic overlap between cancer and cardiovascular disease, going beyond the cardiotoxicity of cancer therapies to understand their broader impact on health.
- Describe the impact of health disparities, genomic ancestry, and social determinants of health in cardiovascular disease in patients living with and beyond cancer.
- Evaluate the pathophysiologic basis of amyloidosis, as well as current diagnostic and treatment strategies.
- Design a multi-disciplinary, interprofessional cardio-oncology care team and successful framework to advance the overall cardiovascular care of cancer patients and survivors.
Target Audience
This educational activity is intended to address the educational needs for cardiologists, oncologists, internists, pharmacists, nurses, trainees 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.
