The two-day Naples Cardiovascular Summit is targeted to primary care physicians & clinicians, nurses, and first responders, and features renowned physicians, Robert Cubeddu, MD of the NCH Heart Institute and Patrick McCarthy, MD of Northwestern Medical as course directors. NCH’s Viviana Navas, MD and Northwestern’s Mazen Albaghdadi, MD serve as co-directors.

“We are excited to partner with Northwestern and are proud to offer this forum to exchange ideas that showcase the latest in cardiovascular care,” said Dr. Robert Cubeddu, President of the NCH Heart Institute. “I am confident the information presented at this year’s summit will increase awareness in cardiac care and result in higher quality outcomes for cardiac patients.”

The purpose of the two-day event is to expand the knowledge and expertise of physicians, clinicians, nurses, and first responders in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Scheduled presentations will be provided by a diversity of faculty from the NCH Healthcare System, the NCH Heart Institute, Northwestern Medicine, Emory Healthcare, Mount Sinai, and others. Interactive sessions and key topics to be covered include: coronary artery disease, cardiac disease prevention and treatment, structural and valvular heart disease, and heart failure and cardiomyopathies, cardio-oncology, cardio-obstetrics, and women’s heart disease.
