Webinar Overview

Join an engaging discussion on how outpatient palliative cardiology supports vulnerable patients by alleviating distressing symptoms and planning for what lies ahead.

Patients with advanced cardiovascular disease often face challenging symptoms and significant anxiety about their future care. Join ACC's Geriatric Cardiology Member Section's Palliative Care Work Group for a webinar that translates uncertainty into action by bringing together expert cardiologists and palliative care clinicians from across the country who care for patients with advanced cardiovascular disease in the outpatient setting. This dynamic conversation will focus on the benefits of outpatient palliative cardiology, how to identify patients who may benefit and how to address the challenges of making referrals. Experts will share insight on outpatient clinics, successes and obstacles, and key resources to establish clinics. This webinar is intended for all cardiovascular clinicians – from those curious about palliative care to those with extensive experience in the field.

Key Objectives/Learning Outcomes: At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Use effective assessment tools to identify patients with cardiovascular disease who will benefit from outpatient palliative cardiology.
2. Describe what happens during an outpatient palliative cardiology visit and learn how to convince your patient it's okay to attend.
3. Find resources for setting up your own outpatient palliative cardiology practice.
