Navigating Valvular Heart Disease and Post-Coronary CT Angiography Care

Webinar 23 Jul, 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM (AEST)

This informative session is tailored for general practitioners who wish to deepen their understanding of crucial cardiology topics. You’ll gain insight into how to identify and refer patients with suspected valvular heart disease, as well as the current treatment options for common valvular conditions. Additionally, the webinar will cover how to recognise the spectrum of abnormal findings on Coronary CT Angiography (CTCA) and their clinical relevance in the general practice setting. Finally, you’ll learn how to evaluate appropriate downstream investigations and medical management therapy following abnormal CTCA results. Don't miss this valuable opportunity to enhance your diagnostic and management skills in cardiology.
