The Arizona Brain and Heart Symposium
Course Goal
A collaboration of Barrow Neurological Institute and Arizona Heart Rhythm Center, the 2021 Brain-Heart Symposium aims to give an overview of the current state of the art scientific knowledge in neurocardiology. The meeting will consist of a hybrid format, with live guests and speakers, as well as a web-based format for attendees and speakers who will join the meeting virtually. Reuniting speakers specialized in neurology, interventional cardiology and electrophysiology, and cardiac surgery, morning and afternoon sessions will consist of plenary lectures and debates, as well as live interventional cardiology sessions.
Course Learning Objectives
- Define the common conditions of brain-heart related disorders such as stroke, seizure, encephalopathy, arrhythmia
- Cite the updated recommendation on the diagnostic work up of the above-mentioned conditions
- Manage medically in terms of stroke prevention, arrhythmia control, and seizure control
- Explain the options in interventional treatment of cardiac arrhythmia, rhythm control, and stroke prevention
