Frye Regional Cardiovascular Symposium

October 24, 2017

The scope of heart disease and expanse of cardiovascular research make it difficult for the healthcare team to stay current with updated guidelines and evidence based practice. Heart disease is a broad term that includes structural heart failure, conduction disorders, coronary artery disease and valve disease.
