Course Description
At the Los Angeles Cardiology Society Forum, three to four interesting cases are presented by the participants. These cases include the entire spectrum of clinical cardiology, from congenital to acquired heart disease. The cases are presented in detail using the most advanced non-invasive and invasive testing. The clinical management of these cases is then discussed by the assembled group of clinicians, and a treatment plan is agreed upon. The goal of this conference is to present interesting and controversial cases, and to stimulate discussion and even disagreement.
