Annual ACC
Mid-Atlantic
CAPITAL CARDIOLOGY
SYMPOSIUM
Come to Heart House on November 22
to mingle and network while keeping upto-date with our CME/CNE approved, casebased educational sessions taught by
regional experts. Learn how advocacy issues,
clinical advances and regional research will
affect your practice and daily routine (and
what you can and should do about it).
Explore local research at our Mid-Atlantic
Capital Young Investigators Awards and Best
Poster Competition sessions. MACCS is not your
typical conference but rather a symposium
designed to promote regional needs and
includes case-based education, sessions on the
future of cardiology and information about
new local cardiovascular research.
You will not find overcrowded rooms and
noisy sponsor booths; but instead a relaxed
environment with open discussion.

Cardiovascular disease
remains one of the leading
causes of death in the United
States. Current research
demonstrates improved, but
not optimal, adherence to
evidence based guidelines.
There also exist significant
variations in care, reflective
of differences in training,
familiarity with guidelines,
and implementation of
tools and systems to ensure
that recommended care is
provided and documented.
The current symposium
focuses on assessing athletes
and patients with adult
congenital heart disease,
particularly in relation to
each group’s unique exercise
prescriptions. Physicians and
cardiac care associates will also
receive timely and updated
information in the expanding
fields of sports cardiology and
congenital heart disease as it
relates to athletes and patients.
OVERALL GOAL
STATEMENT
The primary goal of this
activity is to improve patient
care by increasing learner
competence in caring for
two groups of patients with
unique cardiac issues, athletes
and patients with adult
congenital heart disease. As
a result of attending the MidAtlantic Capital Cardiology
Symposium we expect
cardiovascular clinicians to
implement changes to their
practice that can improve
the care they provide to
these patients with unique
cardiac physiology. The goal
would be to slow or mitigate
adverse cardiac conditions
while enhancing quality of life
for their patients. Examples
of potential changes to
practice include: improved
adherence to evidence based
and national guidelines; and
increased awareness of the
unique cardiac physiology of
these two populations (i.e.
the athlete heart and the
congenital heart) translating
into a more appropriate
assessment.
