Sponsored by: The Ohio State University Medical Center in Cooperation with Oh The Third Annual Cardiovascular Disease in African-Americans Conference April 21 1-5:30 p.m. The Ohio State University s Biomedical Research Tower Auditorium 460 W. 12th Ave. Columbus Like all Americans, the leading cause of death in African- Americans is cardiovascular disease. Although there have been improvements in the treatment of heart disease and stroke that, combined with preventive measures, have reduced cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in this country, the improvements in cardiovascular outcomes in African- Americans has lagged behind those of White Americans. This conference focuses on evidence-based treatments that prevent and retard the progression of cardiovascular disease in African-Americans. Participants will also review certain aspects of racial disparities in cardiovascular care while also discussing possible solutions.
io State s Heart and Vascular Center and Division of Cardiovascular Medicine Target audience: Cardiologists Internal Medicine Physicians Family Practice Physicians Fellows in Training Nurses Allied Health Professionals At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to: Describe the current epidemiology of cardiovascular disease in African- Americans in the USA and the role of risk factors in African Americans Recognize the role of hospitals in racial disparities in cardiovascular care List three strategies to reduce racial disparities in cardiovascular care Describe the current approach to and management of acute ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction Describe the concept of pharmacogenetics as it applies to hypertension in African-Americans Identify the epidemiology, medical management and surgical management of congestive heart failure in African-Americans
The Third Annual Cardiovascular Disease in African-Americans Conference Featuring Clyde Yancy, MD, MSc Magerstadt Professor Chief, Division of Cardiology Northwestern Memorial Hospital Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine Clyde Yancy, MD, MSc, is the Magerstadt Professor and chief of the Division of Cardiology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and associate director of The Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Until recently Dr. Yancy was the medical director at Baylor Heart and Vascular Institute and chief of Cardiothoracic Transplantation at Baylor University Medical Center. He co-chairs the Coalition to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Cardiovascular Outcomes sponsored by the American College of Cardiology (ACC). He has served as president of the American Heart Association (AHA) and on the Executive Council of the Heart Failure Society of America. He is a member of the ACC Guideline Taskforce that oversees all ACC/AHA guidelines. His research interests include the emerging role of registries in cardiovascular diseases, management of advanced heart failure with new drugs and devices and heart failure in special populations. And Herman Taylor, MD, MPH Professor of Medicine University of Mississippi Medical Center Clinical Professor of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine Jackson State University Director/Principal Investigator of the Jackson Heart Study Jackson, Mississippi Herman A. Taylor, MD, MPH, is Professor of Medicine at University of Mississippi Medical Center, Clinical Professor of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine at Jackson State University, and Director/Principal Investigator of the Jackson Heart Study (JHS) in Jackson, Mississippi. The landmark JHS is the largest populationbased study of heart and related diseases ever undertaken in African Americans. While the study seeks to answer questions about cardiovascular disease risk in the African-American population, it also provides historically black colleges and universities experience in large-scale epidemiological research. In addition, a new generation of African-American students is able to prepare for leadership roles in science and medicine. The JHS is funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities of the National Institutes of Health.
