Cardiology 2023: Annual Update on Pediatric and Congenital Cardiovascular Disease

Thursday, February 23, 2023, 3:00 PM - Sunday, February 26, 2023, 5:00 PM, Rio Mar, Puerto Rico, Rio Mar, PR

Our specialty of pediatric and congenital cardiovascular disease is unique in many ways. Within our discipline, we are charged with serving myriad conditions with widely varying anatomies and physiologies at different cycles of time ranging from fetal to mature adult life. At each time frame, each condition is its own entity, demanding a unique fund of knowledge and wisdom specific to that stage of life. This can be a challenge. Maintaining the best outcomes for our patients throughout the lifespan can only be achieved through continuous update and education. Our community must strive to avail itself of the educational
resources necessary to maintain and advance the skills and knowledge base required to provide the best outcomes possible. Providing such a communal, multicenter and multispecialty collaborative, premier resource for healthcare providers and scientists interested in pediatric and congenital cardiovascular disease has been the driving mission of our conference for over 25 years!

And so, it is with this concept in mind that we present the 26th Annual Update on Pediatric and Congenital Cardiovascular Disease. Our theme is: The Circulation: What Makes the Blood Go ‘Round in Pediatric & Congenital Heart Disease. From the basic principles of William Harvey to the iconoclastic innovations of Francis Fontan and other pioneers, concepts of the human “circulation” are intrinsically fundamental to our practice. The course faculty will present multiple talks in plenary sessions, as well as presentations in subspecialty breakout sessions and a series of moderated case-based panel conversations, covering many areas and topics related to the comprehensive care of the unborn, neonate, child, teen and young adult with cardiovascular disease — all within the context of the circulation. Subject material will cover the right and left ventricles, pulmonary and systemic circulations, characterizing their abnormalities, failures and treatment strategies, as well as advanced therapies of support.

We are extremely pleased to welcome you to this year’s collaborative, multidisciplinary conference as we have chosen a unique, marquee setting on the island of Puerto Rico. This beautiful venue will provide the ultimate opportunity for learning, sharing, networking and professional socializing. We promise you will leave refreshed and renewed, armed with the tools necessary to best offer a normal quality and duration of life for our patients with pediatric and congenital cardiovascular disease. As one of the world’s largest and most prestigious conferences focused on pediatric and congenital cardiovascular disease, we offer a warm welcome to our many returning participants and greetings to new
friends for joining us.
