Cardiovascular Update 2020  

Thank you for your interest in the Dignity Health Heart and Vascular Institute of Greater Sacramento's CME Symposium. 

Although innovations in care have caused improvements in cardiovascular outcomes, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States and worldwide. Past declines in cardiovascular disease related deaths have slowed and even regressed for certain populations. Thus, early recognition and referral to specialized centers with experts in the treatment and management of this condition is essential to improve patient outcomes and survival. 

Registration is now open. Register below.
