Carle Health System Cardiology Update 2025

A fast, practice-ready update across outpatient and inpatient cardiology. Case-based sessions turn new evidence and guidelines into clear diagnostic pathways, prescribing choices, and procedural decision-making for clinic, ED, and hospital service.
What You Will Learn

Risk assessment and prevention: hypertension, lipids, diabetes/obesity, CKD-CV risk, and lifestyle medicine

Coronary disease: chest-pain pathways, troponin/ECG interpretation, antithrombotic strategy, chronic coronary syndrome

Heart failure: guideline-directed medical therapy (foundational drugs, sequencing/titration), devices, and diuretic protocols

Arrhythmias: AF/AFL rate/rhythm control, anticoagulation, syncope workup, device troubleshooting basics

Valvular disease: echo-driven algorithms, timing of referral, TAVR/TEER considerations

Special populations: cardio-oncology, pregnancy, HFpEF in older adults, cardio-renal-metabolic overlap

Imaging & testing: when to order stress/coronary CT/echo/CMR; how to act on results

Discharge planning: secondary prevention, cardiac rehab, meds reconciliation, and follow-up
