PAID
11TH ANNUAL
This annual event is designed to provide the latest clinical data, guidelines and evidence related to the clinical application of cardiac biomarkers. Topics cover state
of the art application of biomarkers in the following clinical categories:
• 2013 ACC/AHA guidelines and the integration of new biomarkers and new
application of existing biomarkers
• Examination of the evolving utility of cardiac necrosis biomarkers in Acute
Coronary Syndromes and Heart Failure
• Review of the latest clinical data associated with biomarkers in
cardiovascular disease risk prediction and clinical management of disease.
• Integration of biomarker data in comorbid conditions including renal
disease, diabetes and pulmonary disease
• The application of biomarkers in therapeutic and device trials as
qualification criteria, surrogate endpoints, etc.

ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
TARGET AUDIENCE
The target audience for this activity includes Cardiologists, Internists, Primary Care Physicians,
Emergency Medicine Physicians, Clinical Laboratorians and Nursing Professionals.
PLEASE POST
The content of this educational activity was determined by a rigorous review of recent medical literature as well as the changes in biomarker evidence, use and guidelines in the United
States over the past 3 years. Evidence-based medical education is of significant importance to
the target clinical audience across the US including but not limited to San Diego & Los Angeles.
If you receive more than one brochure,
won’t you pass the extra along to an associate?
Officially endorsed by the Heart Failure Society of America. The opinions presented in this educational activity do not necessarily reflect the
opinions or recommendations of the HFSA.
In other related cardiovascular conditions such as acute coronary syndromes biomarkers have
played a definitive diagnostic role yet confusion has evolved as the sensitivity of biomarkers
such as cardiac troponin have improved. These new and evolving issues are critical for clinicians to be prepared to interpret at the point of care.

HFSA
The diagnosis and management of cardiovascular conditions by clinical means alone is often
inadequate, including but not limited to heart failure. Until recently, biomarker testing in heart
failure (HF) syndromes has been viewed as an elective supplement to diagnostic evaluation of
patients suspected to suffer from this condition. This approach to the use of biomarker testing
contrasts with other cardiovascular diagnoses for which biomarkers are integral to disease
process definition, risk stratification, and in some cases treatment decision making. It is also
noteworthy that advanced guidelines have emerged regarding the application of biomarkers in
heart failure4that need to be integrated into educational initiatives for clinical caregivers.

This activity is in compliance with California Assembly Bill 1195 which
requires continuing medical education activities with patient care components to include curriculum in the subjects of cultural and linguistic
competency. Cultural competency is defined as a set of integrated attitudes, knowledge, and skills that enables health care professionals or
organizations to care effectively for patients from diverse cultures,
groups, and communities. Linguistic competency is defined as the ability
of a physician or surgeon to provide patients who do not speak English
or who have limited ability to speak English, direct communication in
the patient’s primary language. Cultural and linguistic competency was
incorporated into the planning of this activity.Additional resources on
cultural and linguistic competency and information about AB1195
can be found on the UCSD CME website at http://cme.ucsd.edu.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States and is responsible for 17% of national health expenditures. As the population ages, these costs are expected to increase substantially. This program is intended to interpret the current standards of
care associated with the application of biomarkers in cardiac clinical care as well as review
recent literature that provides evidence-basis for the diagnostic, prognostic and management
application of cardiac biomarkers.

It is our policy to ensure balance, independence, objectivity and scientific
rigor. All persons involved in the selection, development and presentation of content are required to disclose any real or apparent conflicts of
interest. All conflicts of interest will be resolved prior to an educational
activity being delivered to learners through one of the following

products or services of the commercial interest, and/or 3) validating the
activity content through independent peer review. All persons are also
required to disclose any discussions of off label/unapproved uses of
drugs or devices. Persons who refuse or fail to disclose will be disqualified
from participating in the CME activity.
