Course Details : One-day Heart Disease Webinar

Course Description

This webinar emphasizes key considerations applicable to the physical and occupational therapist in effectively managing patients with heart disease along the spectrum of care. Disease processes for patients with hypertension, acute coronary syndrome, valvular disease and heart failure will be presented with specific reference to its etiology, pathology, and current medical management. In addition, the course accentuates current evidence on the interacting concepts of stability, decompensation and readmissions in patients with heart disease. Examination and evaluation strategies, organized clinical decision making and evidenced-based treatment techniques will be emphasized to provide clinicians with a contemporary best practice approach for managing patients with chronic cardiac diseases.

Course Objectives

At the end of the course the learner will:

1. Recognize three important radiographic characteristics in patients with heart failure. 
2. Identify three examination techniques to determine the stability of a patient at rest and during activity. 
3. Given the findings of an evaluation for a patient with heart disease, the participant will integrate three contemporary treatment activities into a treatment session. 
4. Review the effects and uses of three categories of pharmacological interventions for patients with cardiovascular dysfunction. 
5. Evaluate the effects of three pathophysiological processes in heart failure. 
6. Identify three contemporary considerations in managing patients with hypertension.
