Concurrent Workshops

 

Format: The sessions are led by a trained facilitator. Sessions are 60 min case-based interactive group workshops (40 min of presentation with discussion questions to stimulate discussion of case presentation, labs, history, practice and data points, and
20 min for topic related Q & A throughout the case module)

 

Blood Pressure Measurement Diagnosis and Follow-Up of Hypertension
Upon completion of this case study, participants should be able to:
• To describe the new Hypertension Canada recommendations and algorithm for the diagnosis of hypertension
• To outline the rationale for and the methods for using automated office blood pressure measurements.
• Define White Coat Hypertension, Masked Hypertension, and Masked Uncontrolled Hypertension (MUCH)
• To describe tools for helping learners acquire and teach the knowledge and skills for blood pressure measurement.

 

How C-CHANGE can Help Management of the multi co-morbidity patient
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
• Identify recommendations for multiple morbidities from the C-CHANGE guidelines
• Implement recommendations for multiple morbidities in a single patient
• Use the C-CHANGE recommendations to help keep the elderly living at home longer and healthier

Cardiovascular Management of Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
• Identify a patient with chronic kidney disease.
• Formulate a treatment plan for renal and cardiovascular risk reduction using the C-CHANGE guidelines including BP control
and lipid management and SGLT2i.
• Communicate and initiate the treatment plan to reduce renal and cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic kidney disease

 

CV Risk Reduction in Diabetes (SGLT2 inhibitors/GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in Patients with DM and CVD)
Upon completion of this case study, participants should be able to:
• Describe the patient who should be treated with an SGLT2i or GLP-1 RA
• Explain the rational for this treatment and the potential benefits
• Describe the steps for initiating and monitoring therapy for patients with diabetes

 

Anticoagulation in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Renal Disease
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
• Describe the rational for anticoagulation of non-valvular atrial fibrillation
• Describe the effect on outcomes of non-valvular atrial fibrillation with CKD
• Describe the management of patients with CKD and non-valvular atrial fibrillation

 

ARNI in Reduced Ejection Fraction Heart Failure (HFrEF)
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
• Describe the epidemiology and pathophysiology of reduced ejection fraction heart failure (HFrEF) and preserved ejection
fraction heart failure (HFpEF)
• Describe the current management of HFrEF
• Describe the evidence for ARNI in HFrEF
• Apply the clinical practice guideline for ARNI in HFrEF

 

Renal Protection in Patients with Diabetes and Advanced Nephropathy
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
• Describe advanced diabetic nephropathy and its consequences
• Explain the rationale for the management of advanced nephropathy and the potential benefits
