This in depth educational symposium will explore gender specific issues in prevalence, risk factors, screening modalities, and medical management strategies, including exercise and stress management, cholesterol management, hypertension, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), reproductive hormone therapy, heart failure, and coronary microvascular dysfunction. The purpose of this conference is to close the knowledge gap of physicians and allied health care professionals regarding sex-specific differences in cardiovascular disease and the impact these differences have on treatment options, and to highlight the importance of identifying women at risk for cardiovascular disease and utilizing the most current evidence-based treatment strategies for improved patient outcomes.

1. Recognize the clinical presentation of cardiac disease in women and how it differs from men.
2. Recommend strategies for risk reduction and management based on exercise, nutrition and stress guidelines.
3. Develop a gender-specific approach to the identification and diagnosis of non-obstructive disease and coronary microvascular dysfunction in women.
4. Review guidelines to improve hypertension in women.
5. Understand CVD risks and benefits of reproductive hormone therapy.
6. Review heart failure with preserved ejection fraction which is more prevalent in women with regard to prevention and treatment.
