This event is intended to provide an easy-to-understand update on the prevention and treatment of heart diseases. Brief presentations followed by question-and-answer sessions will address major disease entities including coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death, heart failure and myocardial infarction. This information should help patients become aware of new treatment options, give them new confidence and motivate them to adopt healthy lifestyles.The event will also give them the opportunity to meet experts and fellow patients in a hospitable atmosphere.
