Symposium on Medicine and Pharmacology Update: Cardiovascular Disease
Synopsis
Cardiovascular disease remains a primary cause of death in the US and worldwide despite global initiatives to reduce morbidity and mortality through education, early detection and comprehensive therapy. Patients with cardiovascular disease pose a significant challenge to the practicing oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Therefore, it is imperative that oral and maxillofacial surgeons gain appreciation of current modalities for diagnosis and treatment including pharmacologic therapy and invasive and non-invasive testing.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this symposium, participants will be able to:
- Describe the indications for invasive and non-invasive cardiac testing;
- Discuss the pharmacologic mechanisms of action, indications, contraindications and side effects of new cardiac therapeutic agents;
- Discuss the role of peripheral vascular disease in planning vascularized flap reconstructive procedures; and
- Describe the rationale for protocols of management for patients on anti-coagulant therapy who require oral surgical care.
