Inspiring Medical Education.

BALTIMORE, MD—May 14, 2013—To help primary care professionals in the management of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), Med-IQ, an award-winning, ACCME-accredited provider of continuing medical education (CME), has developed the complimentary, certified CME activity, Defining the Role of Stress Testing and Imaging in CAD Risk Assessment.

In this rapidly evolving and highly technical field, where substantial innovations in technology have enhanced diagnostic accuracy, staying up-to-date on recent research regarding the benefits and risks of different testing and imaging methods for cardiovascular illnesses can be challenging.

This discussion-based CME Webcast addresses specific knowledge gaps in the appropriate selection and interpretation of testing techniques with the goal of helping primary care professionals integrate the latest research on CAD risk assessment with cardiac testing to optimize patient outcomes.

"The benefits of assessing the risk of coronary artery disease using cardiovascular stress testing and imaging among patients in the primary care setting must be carefully weighed against the potential health risks and economic costs associated with these approaches,” said William A. Mencia, MD, CCMEP, Vice President of Education & Medical Affairs at Med-IQ. "In this CME Webcast, Drs. Ronald Schwartz and Corey Evans explore current evidence for how to choose between exercise stress testing, pharmacologic stress testing, and imaging studies based on patient factors and different clinical scenarios in order to select the most appropriate method to accurately assess cardiovascular risk and ensure optimal care and outcomes for their patients.”
