A Day of Learning, Collaboration, and Connection

Designed to provide practical, relevant education for healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with cardiovascular disease, the conference featured an outstanding lineup of South Heart Clinic physicians and guest speakers covering a wide range of cardiovascular topics.

From structural heart interventions and TAVR to peripheral vascular disease, carotid and aortic disease, stress testing, stroke prevention, venous disease, and limb salvage, attendees had the opportunity to hear directly from experts across multiple areas of cardiovascular medicine.

The diverse program was designed to provide information that healthcare professionals could take back to their practices and apply to patient care.

Bringing the Cardiovascular Community Together

One of the most rewarding aspects of the event was seeing healthcare professionals from across the Rio Grande Valley come together in one room.

The conference provided more than just an educational experience, it created a space for physicians, APPs, nurses, residents, hospital teams, and industry partners to network, exchange ideas, and strengthen relationships that ultimately benefit the patients we all serve.

We were especially excited to welcome nurses to this year’s program, expanding the opportunity for even more members of the healthcare community to participate in continuing education and meaningful conversations around cardiovascular care.
