Evidence-based Clinical Care: Aortic Valve Disease Clinical Pathway is organized by Baptist Health South Florida.
Course opens: 10/01/2018
Course expires: 03/31/2024
Description:
This course presents different types of aortic valve disease (AVD) and reviews their diagnosis, management and treatment. Aortic stenosis, the most common valve disease in the United States, involves an obstruction of blood flow across the aortic valve. The classic triad of symptoms will be reviewed, as well as the mortality associated with AVD.
Learning Objectives:
• Explain the necessity of systemwide standardization of treatment options for the aortic valve disease (AVD) patient based on current, evidence-based practices.
• Implement the aortic stenosis, moderate to severe aortic stenosis, valve therapy, aortic regurgitation and bicuspid aortic valve aortopathy clinical pathways and associated power plans that are based on evidence-based practices applicable to the acute care setting.
• Stratify patients based on outpatient risk assessment of those with AVD and explain the available treatment options for these patients.
• Describe what aortic stenosis, aortic valve regurgitation and bicuspid aortic valve aortopathy are, along with standardized echocardiogram and imaging criteria associated with AVD.
• Utilize the criteria for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) case selection and percutaneous transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
• Recognize the clinical sequelae associated with AVD.
• Monitor the quality measures associated with the treatment/care of AVD patients.
