Novel Anticoagulant Workshop
Saturday, June 4
8 a.m. to Noon
We are excited to present the Novel Anticoagulant Workshop during the SVM Annual Meeting. This workshop addresses how these new medications, both in class and indication, fit appropriately into our armamentarium. SVM has created this session to communicate the pharmacology, how the drugs should be used in venous thromboembolism and atrial fibrillation, the impact on hospital P&T committees and how the new agents will affect anticoagulation clinics. Read all about the workshop, including the full program and speakers.
This workshop is available with your full meeting registration or you can register for just the workshop for $75.
Antiplatelet Therapy Workshop
Friday, June 3,
10:20 a.m. - 11:20 a.m.
This exciting workshop will begin with a discussion of the biology of the platelet in atherosclerosis, whether patients with peripheral artery disease should be treated with aspirin, discuss whether genetic testing should be employed with antiplatelet agents, and bring everyone up to date in point-of-care platelet inhibition testing. Read all about the workshop, including the full program and speakers.
This workshop is included with your annual meeting registration.

Society of Vascular Medicine co-sponsors 3rd Annual Clinical Practice of Peripheral Vascular Disease
The 3rd Annual Clinical Practice of Peripheral Vascular Disease, Feb. 11-13, 2011, at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Phoenix, is co-sponsored by the American College of Cardiology Arizona Chapter and the Society for Vascular Medicine.
Improve your clinical expertise in non-coronary vascular diseases
Advance registration is closed, but you can still register on site! Learn more.
Join your colleagues in Phoenix for this exciting two-and-a-half day comprehensive review of diagnosis and treatment strategies for patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD). This highly interactive program will explore the natural history, epidemiology and pathophysiology of non-coronary vascular diseases, as well as evidence-based medical, interventional and surgical management strategies.
Topics covered will include carotid and cerebrovascular diseases, aortic arch, mesenteric and renal vascular diseases, and lower extremity vascular – including venous thromboembolic – disease. New this year: expanded optional lunchtime workshops; debates among the experts on treatments and therapies; and small group case review sessions.
The ACCF designates this educational activity for a maximum of 18.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should only claim credits commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
