New Getting to the Heart of Ischemic Heart Disease

Posted on 6/9/2009,

Presenters: William E. Boden, MD, FACC, FAHA; David A. Morrow, MD, MPH

Primary care physicians are likely to be the first medical professionals to encounter patients with IHD. To reduce the high morbidity and mortality rates associated with IHD, it will be important for PCPs to understand the basic science associated with myocardial ischemia, be aware of current treatment guidelines, and understand the impact of the results of these clinical trials examining the outcomes of IHD treatment interventions. In addition, physicians need to be aware of how these recommendations may be modified for particular subgroups of patients with IHD.

Successful Management of IBS-C in Primary Care: Barriers to Care. Patient Scenarios. Knowledge Mastery.

Posted on 4/13/2009,

Presenters: Brooks Cash, MD; Louis Kuritzky, MD

Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C) is a condition that affects a significant portion of the population and leads to reduced quality of life. With unclear etiology and the fact that no single biomarker detects IBS-C, an exclusionary diagnosis of IBS-C can be a challenging process. Increasing awareness among primary care physicians is essential to understanding not only the prevalence of IBS-C in women, but to more closely comprehending the needs and concerns of patients themselves. The purpose of this activity is to improve the knowledge and competence of primary care physicians and trainees in the assessment and management of patients living with IBS-C.
