This conference is intended for practicing cardiologists, fellows-in-training, nurses, pharmacists and other members of the cardiac care team in the Asia Pacific region.

CONFERENCE OVERALL GOAL

The overall goal of this conference is to examine emerging trends and evidence-based strategies as well as contemporary best practices resulting in guideline-driven, practical cardiovascular prevention and management for patients with cardiovascular disease.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Demonstrate appropriate interpretation of cardiovascular guidelines and diagnostic strategies needed in daily practice.
• Describe the best practices in the treatment of patients with heart failure.
• Identify prevention strategies for treating cardiovascular disease including managing dyslipidemia.
• Apply the latest evidence to the evaluation, medical management and surgical treatment of patients with valvular heart disease.
• Evaluate current treatment strategies in the investigation and management of coronary artery disease.
• Identify best practices for the management of patients with atrial and ventricular arrhythmias.
• Demonstrate improved ECG and imaging interpretation skills.

Registration Rates

Learn at your leisure and sharpen your core cardiology skills with Heart Songs, ECG Drill & Practice, and ACCSAP. These products provide a uniquely dynamic learning opportunity you won’t want to miss!

Heart Songs 5
Research reveals that cardiologists fail to identify more than half of basic murmurs and about 35 percent of advanced murmurs when challenged at a major medical meeting, but skills improved after a 90-minute Heart Songs training session. Heart Songs 5 provides you with everything you need to effortlessly improve your cardiac auscultation skills! Heart Songs 5 will help you:

• Prepare for the cardiac exam of the future by learning the complementary role of handheld echo in the bedside detection of heart sounds. Heart Songs 5 includes basic, intermediate, expert, and adult congenital murmurs, plus images of phonocardiograms, CT scans and videos of color Doppler echocardiograms. These visual enhancements will facilitate your understanding and mastery of many heart murmurs/sounds.
• Master cardiac auscultation by reviewing the auditory characteristics and handheld echo findings of each heart sound.

First, pick a track and assess your baseline skills by taking a confidential pretest. Then simply view videos featuring classic heart murmurs accompanied by phonocardiograms and colour Doppler echoes. Each video includes hundreds of repetitions of its murmur, and studies show that simple repetition is all you need to master a new sound. Watch the videos as many times as necessary to see a significant improvement on your posttest scores (most people need to watch 2 to 4 times). Each Heart Songs track takes approximately 30 minutes to complete and sessions are self-paced.

Heart Songs makes sure you know what your stethoscope is telling you!

ECG Drill & Practice
Improve your ECG interpretation skills with ECG Drill & Practice. This program reviews key findings in clinical electrocardiography and also contains a self-assessment ECG test, featuring the format and answer options similar to those of the ABIM's certifying examination in cardiovascular disease. It's a great resource for anyone preparing for initial Board certification in CV disease and for anyone looking to hone their ECG interpretation skills.

Three convenient modes let you use this product in whatever way best meets your needs.

• Learn Mode: Teaches you how to recognize & differentiate ECGs across the topics above.
• Drill & Practice Mode: Shows you ECGs "flash cards" that you can practice interpreting. Turn each card over to see the answer and explanation.
• Perform: Practice interpreting ECGs using the ABIM's interpretation list. Receive detailed commentary on how your answer compares to the experts'.

Brush up on a core cardiology skill with ECG Drill & Practice's 100+ ECGs and expert insight!

ACCSAP (Adult Clinical Cardiology Self-Assessment Program)
ACCSAP is ACC's flagship self-assessment program – covering the entire field of adult clinical cardiology – and is designed to help you perfect your knowledge of CV medicine. Use ACCSAP to identify your knowledge gaps, reinforce your existing knowledge, and learn new information. ACCSAP teaches learners through both lectures and text and includes hundreds of ABIM-style questions with rationale, references, and links to related text to help plan additional study.

Join ACC international chapter teams and Singapore local teams – each made up of three Fellows in Training (FITs) – as they test their clinical knowledge during the FIT Jeopardy sessions at the ACC Asia 2021 together with the SCS 32nd Annual Scientific Meeting!

FIT Jeopardy is a friendly competition that promotes a healthy rivalry between ACC international chapters, fosters FIT engagement within the chapters, and provides educational value to the contestants and audience. Participants will be quizzed on a variety of topics ranging from imaging, prevention, and intervention in an unconventional manner. There will be a panel of judges and chairs to moderate the competition.

Three local teams from Singapore and three ACC international chapters teams will compete in preliminary rounds with a final round between the winning local Singapore team and the winning ACC international chapter team. The winning team will compete at the ACC.22 competition in Washington, DC in March 2022!

This competition will be held on Friday, July 9, 2021 from 7:10 p.m. to 9:10 p.m. SGT.
