Course Description: This program will focus on key lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, including how mRNA vaccine technology may be leveraged in cardiovascular medicine, what we know about thromboinflammation in COVID-19, the potential effects of long COVID syndrome on our patients and the healthcare system, and how clinicians can begin to address both the consequences of delayed cardiac care and the myriad healthcare inequities that have been uncovered over the last 18 months. The program will conclude with an interactive panel discussion and Q&A session.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Recall how mRNA technology used to develop vaccines for COVID-19 can be leveraged in cardiovascular medicine
  2. Explain how the link between inflammation and thrombosis that has characterized COVID-19 has implications for other aspects of medicine
  3. Describe long COVID syndrome and how medicine will handle this complication of COVID-19
  4. Summarize trends in cardiovascular care utilization during the COVID-19 pandemic and implications for future burden of disease
  5. Recognize healthcare disparities exposed by COVID-19 and how medicine needs to make changes for the health of all our communities
