Faculty William E. Boden, MD – Chairman C. Noel Bairey Merz MD, FACC, FAHA - Faculty David A. Morrow, MD, MPH Target Audience The primary target audience for this CME activity will be clinical cardiologists and other health care providers with an interest and understanding of current treatment options in chronic stable angina.. Program Description Chronic stable angina, which is the initial manifestation of ischemic heart disease in approximately one half of patients, remains a major medical problem in the United States with more than 6 million patients affected. Despite the increasing success of conventional medical therapeutic approaches and the continued development of mechanical revascularization approaches, a significant number of patients with chronic stable angina have not been successfully managed. The American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association have recognized this void and have implemented a “get with the guidelines” initiative in an effort to help cardiologists successfully treat more patients with chronic stable angina. This enduring continuing medical education activity will provide physicians with the most recent material presented during cardiovascular educational symposia, which were held at cardiovascular meetings designed to promote understanding and compliance with existing treatment guidelines. The unique multi-media format of this activity allows physicians to access the information and acquire their educational credit requirements at their own convenience.
