8th Annual Symposium: Contemporary Management of Cardiovascular Disease in Women 2025

Advanced Women’s Cardiology, Preventive Cardiovascular Medicine & Gender-Specific Heart Disease Update

The 8th Annual Symposium: Contemporary Management of Cardiovascular Disease in Women 2025 delivers a comprehensive review of the latest evidence-based strategies for diagnosing, preventing, and treating cardiovascular disease in women. This specialized cardiology program focuses on sex-specific differences in cardiovascular risk, clinical presentation, disease progression, and treatment outcomes, helping clinicians address persistent disparities in women’s cardiovascular healthcare.

Designed for cardiologists, internists, primary care physicians, advanced practice providers, and other healthcare professionals involved in cardiovascular care, the symposium explores emerging therapies, preventive strategies, advanced interventions, and modern guideline-based approaches to managing cardiovascular disease across the female lifespan.

Program Overview

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death among women worldwide, yet significant differences in risk factors, disease presentation, diagnosis, and treatment continue to impact outcomes.

This symposium provides a focused review of:

• Women’s Cardiovascular Health
• Preventive Cardiology
• Coronary Artery Disease
• Heart Failure
• Arrhythmias
• Valvular Heart Disease
• Aortic Disease
• Hypertension
• Lipid Management
• Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) Syndrome
• Pregnancy-Associated Cardiac Disease
• Advanced Cardiovascular Therapies

Participants will gain practical strategies for recognizing unique cardiovascular conditions in women while applying contemporary therapies and evidence-based management approaches to improve patient outcomes.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

• Identify sex-specific cardiovascular risk factors and disease patterns in women.
• Apply contemporary ASCVD prevention and risk assessment strategies.
• Evaluate and manage coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndromes in female patients.
• Utilize advanced pharmacologic therapies for lipid disorders, hypertension, heart failure, and CKM syndrome.
• Assess cardiovascular complications related to pregnancy and hormonal changes.
• Implement evidence-based management strategies for atrial fibrillation, cardiac amyloidosis, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
• Understand sex-related differences in valvular and aortic disease treatment outcomes.
• Integrate emerging interventional therapies into clinical cardiovascular practice.
