Scripps 4th Annual Scripps Arrhythmias and Cardiomyopathy in Women Symposium 2024 (Videos + PDF)

Advancing Women’s Cardiovascular Care Through Evidence-Based Education

The Scripps 4th Annual Arrhythmias and Cardiomyopathy in Women Symposium 2024 is a specialized cardiovascular education program focused on the unique aspects of heart disease, arrhythmias, cardiomyopathies, and heart failure in women. Developed by Scripps Health, this symposium highlights gender-specific cardiovascular risk factors, diagnostic challenges, treatment disparities, and emerging therapies aimed at improving outcomes for women with cardiovascular disease.

This comprehensive course provides clinicians with practical, evidence-based strategies for recognizing atypical presentations, optimizing treatment, and addressing cardiovascular conditions that disproportionately affect women throughout different stages of life.

Course Overview

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death among women worldwide, yet women continue to experience delays in diagnosis, under-recognition of symptoms, and underutilization of guideline-directed therapies. Many cardiovascular conditions present differently in women than in men, requiring a more individualized and sex-specific approach to diagnosis and management.

The Scripps Arrhythmias and Cardiomyopathy in Women Symposium explores current evidence regarding women-specific cardiovascular conditions, arrhythmias, heart failure syndromes, cardiomyopathies, cardiac amyloidosis, menopause-related cardiovascular risk, pregnancy-associated cardiac disorders, and long-term cardiovascular consequences of COVID-19.

The program emphasizes practical clinical application and strategies to reduce disparities in cardiovascular care.
