Insulin Therapy

Insulin management remains an important component of both type 1 and advanced type 2 diabetes care.

The program addresses how clinicians can:

• Safely initiate insulin therapy
• Escalate treatment when appropriate
• Develop intensive insulin regimens
• Improve glucose management
• Reduce avoidable treatment-related complications

Particular emphasis is placed on translating insulin management principles into practical primary care workflows.

Aortic Stenosis

Valvular heart disease is a major component of the cardiology curriculum.

The conference reviews:

• Basic pathophysiology of aortic stenosis
• Recognition of clinically significant disease
• Timing of valve replacement
• Role of stress testing
• Use of biomarkers
• Indications for TAVI/TAVR
• Referral considerations
• Comparison with surgical aortic valve replacement

This section is designed to help clinicians recognize when patients may require specialist evaluation or intervention.

Mitral Regurgitation

The program also addresses the pathophysiology and management of mitral regurgitation.

Participants will review:

• Mechanisms of mitral regurgitation
• Evaluation of disease severity
• Timing of surgical intervention
• Management of asymptomatic patients with severe MR
• Emerging catheter-based therapies

The course emphasizes practical decision-making and appropriate referral pathways.

ECG Interpretation

Electrocardiography remains an essential diagnostic tool in primary care and cardiovascular medicine.

Participants will review common ECG presentations of cardiac conditions and develop practical interpretation strategies that can be applied in everyday practice.

The program emphasizes:

• Pattern recognition
• Clinically relevant ECG findings
• Interpretation pearls
• Integration of ECG findings with the broader clinical picture

Congestive Heart Failure

The conference provides an update on congestive heart failure, with particular attention to older adults.

Topics include:

• Diagnosis of heart failure
• Common causes of exacerbation
• Lifestyle modification
• Pharmacologic treatment
• Long-term disease management
• Special considerations in geriatric patients

The course helps clinicians integrate guideline-based management with the needs of complex older patients.

Obesity Management

Obesity is addressed as a chronic disease requiring comprehensive evaluation and individualized therapy.

Participants will review:

• Patient assessment
• Lifestyle interventions
• Weight-management counseling
• Anti-obesity pharmacotherapy
• Comprehensive weight-loss strategies

The program emphasizes evidence-based approaches that can be incorporated into primary care practice.

Lipid Management and Cardiovascular Prevention

Dyslipidemia remains a key modifiable cardiovascular risk factor.

The conference reviews contemporary cholesterol management, including:

• LDL-lowering strategies
• Primary prevention
• Secondary prevention
• Statin intolerance
• Hypertriglyceridemia
• Elevated lipoprotein(a)

Participants will learn how to apply current cholesterol guidelines to individual patient risk profiles.

Endocrine Incidentalomas

Incidental findings on imaging are increasingly common and can create diagnostic and management challenges.

The course reviews appropriate evaluation of:

• Adrenal masses
• Pituitary masses
• Thyroid nodules

Participants will explore clinically appropriate workups, risk assessment, and management strategies for these endocrine incidentalomas.

Thyroid Disorders

The endocrine curriculum includes a practical approach to disorders of thyroid function.

Topics include:

• Hypothyroidism
• Hyperthyroidism
• Diagnostic evaluation
• Laboratory interpretation
• Clinical management strategies

The aim is to strengthen confidence in the evaluation and treatment of common thyroid disorders in primary care.

Atrial Fibrillation and Anticoagulation

The conference addresses contemporary approaches to atrial fibrillation, including increasingly important issues related to asymptomatic and device-detected disease.

Participants will review:

• Thromboembolic risk assessment
• Asymptomatic atrial fibrillation
• Device-detected atrial fibrillation
• Direct oral anticoagulants
• Individualized anticoagulation selection
• Stroke-prevention strategies

This section emphasizes balancing thromboembolic prevention with patient-specific bleeding and treatment considerations.

Cardiovascular Imaging

Modern cardiovascular imaging plays an increasingly important role in diagnostic decision-making.

The conference reviews practical applications of:

• Coronary CT
• Cardiac MRI
• Stress testing
• Nuclear imaging

Participants will examine the advantages, limitations, and potential pitfalls of each modality and learn how to select appropriate imaging approaches for common clinical scenarios.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this program, participants should be better able to:

• Review prediabetes, lifestyle, and non-insulin medical therapy for type 2 diabetes.
• Safely initiate insulin therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes and implement intensive insulin regimens for the management of type 1 diabetes.
• Review the basic pathophysiology of aortic stenosis, apply newer concepts in the timing of valve replacement, role of stress testing, and biomarkers, and discuss transcatheter aortic valve intervention (TAVI/TAVR) indications and referrals compared with surgical AVR.
• Review the basic pathophysiology of mitral regurgitation, discuss the timing of mitral valve surgical intervention in asymptomatic patients with severe MR, and evaluate emerging catheter-based therapies.
• Identify common ECG presentations of cardiac conditions and apply interpretation pearls in clinical practice.
• Review the diagnosis, common causes of exacerbation, lifestyle modification, and pharmacological management of congestive heart failure with a specific focus on the geriatric population.
• Assess patients with obesity and discuss comprehensive weight loss options, including lifestyle interventions and anti-obesity medical therapy.
• Apply current cholesterol guidelines for LDL-lowering in primary and secondary prevention, and manage statin intolerance, hypertriglyceridemia, and elevated lipoprotein(a).
• Perform appropriate workups and management for endocrine incidentalomas, including adrenal masses, pituitary masses, and thyroid nodules.
• Formulate diagnostic workups and clinical management strategies for disorders of thyroid function, including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
• Evaluate thromboembolic risk, discuss asymptomatic and device-detected atrial fibrillation, and select appropriate direct oral anticoagulation options.
• Apply contemporary cardiovascular imaging, including coronary CT, cardiac MRI, stress testing, and nuclear imaging, in frontline clinical scenarios while recognizing key advantages and pitfalls.

Why This Course Is Relevant

Cardiovascular and endocrine disorders account for a substantial proportion of chronic disease seen in primary care.

Clinicians must stay current with rapidly evolving evidence in areas such as diabetes therapy, obesity pharmacotherapy, lipid management, valvular intervention, anticoagulation, and advanced cardiovascular imaging.

MCE Conferences Cardiology and Endocrinology for Primary Care Sep 25, 2026 – Sep 27, 2026 brings these topics together in one practical educational program, helping clinicians update diagnostic strategies, treatment decisions, and referral pathways across both specialties.
