More than 1,320 attended the New Cardiovascular Horizons (NCVH) conference at The Roosevelt New Orleans May 30-June 2 for a peripheral vascular disease program to improve cardiovascular care and outcomes in patients across the United States.
The annual conference featured more than 20 live cases from across the world, 180 expert faculty, 525 exhibitors, and more than 300 presentations. Up to 25 continuing education credits were offered.
Vascular leg conditions such as peripheral artery disease and vein disease affect more than 50 million Americans. NCVH is founded by Craig M. Walker, MD, interventional cardiologist, president and founder of Cardiovascular Institute of the South. “Peripheral disease affects more than 20 million Americans, and it is imperative for physicians to understand this complex, yet common condition, and how to treat it properly and effectively.” He added, “We must do a better job in diagnosing and treating these patients, not only to save their legs, but to reduce cardiovascular death and cost.”
NCVH provides accredited education on late-breaking advancements in cardiovascular medicine and technology to improve the diagnosis and treatment of vascular conditions, reducing morbidity, mortality, cost, and amputations. Upcoming one-day regional meetings are scheduled in Atlantic City, N.J.; Fort Lauderdale and Tampa, Fla.; Lafayette, La.; Chicago, Ill.; St. Louis, M.O.; and Meridian, Miss. The date for the NCVH 25th Annual Conference is May 28 - 31, 2024 in New Orleans.
