Military and Federal GETN subscribers by The American Heart Association and
Department of Defense Medical Interagency Satellite Program with the technical
support of the Satellite Education Network (SEN) at Ft. Lee, VA.
b. Availability: This program will be available to military and federal GETN/MIST sites that have GETN/ATN/Warrior digital satellite downlinks. A listing of potential GETN receive sites can be seen here: GETN Site Locations.
MIST affiliate satellite networks such as the VA’s Employee Education System and the Department of Justice Television Network may also carry this program but IAW with their own scheduling.
There is C Band analog satellite available for this program, NO Ku Band. Coordinates will be sent in the final confirmation message 2-3 business days prior to broadcast.
Videoconferencing may be available to selected military and federal VTC sites using the USA TNET or the USN CNET networks and other VTC networks able to connect to this satellite feed. Site coordinators using VTC are responsible for their own bridge coordination.
Will this program be Webcast? Possibly…..more information in the final confirmation message.
c. Target Audience Statement: The target audience for this broadcast is military and federal cardiologists, internists, hospitalists, emergency physicians, primary care providers, nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals involved in the care and treatment of patients with CVD.
d. Program Description: Of the estimated 1.2 million coronary attacks to be experienced by Americans in 2006, almost half (500,000) will be recurrent events. Accordingly, secondary prevention is an essential part of the comprehensive care of the patient with coronary heart disease (CHD). The American Heart Association (AHA) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC) recently issued new, evidence-based guidelines regarding the management of atherosclerotic disease, an important CHD risk factor, in patients following a heart attack. It is important that physicians become aware of these new guidelines and implement them into practice in order to positively affect outcomes in their patients.
The distinguished faulty of Managing Vascular Atherosclerotic Disease in the Post MI Patient will review the new AHA/ACC secondary prevention guidelines as they pertain to the post MI patient, discuss the medical management of the post MI patient including key risk factors and treatment targets, and provide insight into the effective implementation of these guidelines into practice.
Learning Objectives: After completing this activity, participants should be able to:
Identify risk factors for recurrent CV events in patients who have experienced an MI and, in accordance with AHA secondary prevention guidelines, set appropriate treatment goals and targets
Recommend an individualized comprehensive secondary prevention risk factor management strategy (including lifestyle and medical therapy) for patients who have experienced an MI
Recognize the benefit and underutilization of cardiac rehabilitation in patients who have experienced an MI and direct its appropriate use in clinical practice
Employ a multidisciplinary cardiac care model for the management of patients who have experienced an MI
