COURSE OVERVIEW/STATEMENT OF NEED
This course is designed to provide a comprehensive review of current concepts in the management of cardiovascular disease for practicing physicians and other healthcare providers. It provides a forum where health care providers can gather together to learn from each other and develop better strategies to combat the growing threat of cardiovascular disease.
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality globally with majority of the deaths occurring in the lower and middle income countries. In sub-Saharan Africa, while communicable diseases are still more prevalent, the incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular disease is rising more rapidly and it is expected to overtake communicable diseases as a cause of mortality in the near future. One of the major challenges in the fight against cardiovascular disease in this region is a shortage of educational resources and cardiovascular disease specialists. This program hopes to bring world class cardiovascular education to the region so that it can be accessible to health care professionals who may not have access to similar programs which are often held in other parts of the world.
Topics to be covered include Heart failure, Cardiac Arrhythmias, Cardiovascular Imaging, Valvular Heart Disease, Coronary Artery Disease and Cardiovascular Disease Prevention.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The goal of the course is to provide attendees with knowledge of the most recent advances in the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease which can be used to improve the care provided to their patients.
At the end of the course, the attendees should be able to do the following:
Recognize and treat the most common forms of heart failure appropriately.
Implement the most effective strategies for evaluation and treatment of chest pain.
Recognize the most common types of heart valve disorders and implement the most effective management strategies.
Understand the most current concepts in cardiovascular disease prevention.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This course is intended for cardiovascular disease specialists, primary care physicians, nurses and other allied medical personnel interested in the field of cardiology.
ACCREDITATION
The course is approved for 10 CPD units by the University of Lagos Medical.
REGISTRATION
Registration fee is 25,000.00 Naira or 100.00 U.S dollars. You can register online at www.cardiovasculareducationfoundation.com.

ABOUT CARDIOVASCULAR EDUCATION FOUNDATION
Cardiovascular Education Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the goal of promoting cardiovascular education, research and patient care in underserved communities especially in sub-Saharan Africa.
Sub-Saharan Africa is currently undergoing and epidemiologic transition characterized by a rapid increase in the prevalence of non-communicable diseases especially cardiovascular disease. One of the major barriers to optimal cardiovascular care in the region is a shortage of healthcare professionals with advanced training in the specialty. This shortage is compounded by the outmigration of physicians and other healthcare professionals from Africa to Europe and America for economic reasons.
Cardiovascular Education Foundation hopes to contribute to the advancement of cardiovascular education, research and patient care in sub-Saharan Africa and worldwide by promoting world class cardiovascular education within the region. It is our hope that some of the physicians and other healthcare professionals who are not able to attend similar programs which usually take place in other parts of the world would benefit from this conference.
