Minnesota Valve Symposium - Canceled
Cancellation Notice
Due to the significant challenges presented by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the 2020 Minnesota Valve Symposium on April 23 - 24, 2020 has been canceled.
After deliberative discussions among our leaders with health officials and based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the University of Minnesota is canceling all non-essential, University-funded travel, both domestic and international, as of Monday, March 16. We do not believe that our symposium falls under any exceptions.
We do not make these decisions lightly. The health and safety of our clinical community must come first.
We are grateful to have so many excellent partners in the field willing to support this event and we look forward to hosting you in Spring 2021.
The seventh annual Minnesota Valve Symposium brings together local, national and international leaders in valvular heart disease and aortic valve replacement. During the course of two days, we will discuss the latest information on valve disease, including patient evaluation, management guidelines, imaging, pathology, surgical techniques, devices and long-term results of patients with all types of valvular disease, as well as new cardiac innovations in the areas of valvular heart disease.
Presentations of the latest available data, techniques, and state-of-the-art reviews will be augmented by multiple live procedure and case presentation sessions.
Intended Audience
This symposium is appropriate for physicians, interventional cardiologists, non-invasive cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, cardiac anesthesiologists, internists, fellows, residents, advanced practitioners, registered nurses and interested allied health professionals.
University of Minnesota Medical School: Excellence in Cardiac Care
The Minnesota Valve Symposium is planned and hosted by University of Minnesota Medical School, Cardiovascular Division. For over 60 years, the experts at the University of Minnesota have been researching and developing new treatment options for cardiac patients. At the symposium, you’ll learn how we’re putting these cutting-edge methods into practice and providing care options for patients living with heart disease.
Course Objectives
- Apply a team approach to the assessment, evaluation and treatment of high-risk patients considered for transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
- Explain the advantages and challenges of diagnostic imaging techniques in evaluating valvular heart disease.
- Discuss the complications and management of these complications related to the transcatheter treatment of valvular heart disease.
- Determine the workup, evaluation and treatment options of high-risk patients considered for mitral and tricuspid valve therapy.
- Describe treatment options for nonvalvular atrial fibrillation patients, including those at increased risk for bleeding.
In support of improving patient care, University of Minnesota Interprofessional Continuing Education is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
