The Texas Heart Institute at Baylor College of Medicine Igor Palacios Symposium 2025

Target Audience This activity is designed for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and other medical care providers who are interested in the latest advances in cardiology. Fellows, residents, and medical students are also welcome to attend. Educational Objectives At the conclusion of this activity, the participants should be able to:

• Evaluate recent advances in percutaneous treatments for congenital heart disease, including diagnostic innovations and evolving guideline-based strategies for ambulatory management.
• Analyze paradigm shifts in the treatment of acute heart failure, with emphasis on percutaneous techniques, surveillance strategies, and interdisciplinary approaches to care.
• Explore emerging applications of artificial intelligence in cardiology, recognizing current use cases, limitations, and future directions for clinical integration and decision support.
• Interpret evolving diagnostic and management strategies for valvular and congenital heart disease, including surveillance approaches, guideline updates, and the role of emerging technologies in structural heart interventions.

Educational Methods Lecture • Case Study • Panel Discussion Evaluation
