ForwardInaugural Center for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Symposium: Innovating Prevention- From Precision Science to Real World Impact
This inaugural symposium highlights a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention across the lifespan. The program integrates precision science, clinical implementation, community engagement, and innovation to address major drivers of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Through keynote lectures, pathway-focused scientific sessions, case-based learning, panel discussions, and innovation showcases, attendees will explore prevention strategies in atherosclerosis, arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, heart failure and cardiomyopathy, social determinants of health, women’s cardiovascular health, and cardio-oncology. The symposium also highlights emerging technologies including artificial intelligence, advanced imaging, wearable devices, omics-based risk prediction, and novel therapeutics.

Learning Objectives
By the end of this symposium, participants will be able to:
1. Apply evidence-based prevention strategies across the cardiovascular disease spectrum, including atherosclerosis, arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death, heart failure, and cardiomyopathy.
2. Incorporate precision medicine approaches including advanced imaging, multi-omics and biomarkers -to improve cardiovascular risk assessment and early disease detection.
3. Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, digital health tools, and EHR-based strategies, into prevention-focused clinical care.
4. Implement multidisciplinary, lifespan-based prevention strategies to reduce the risk of initial cardiovascular events and prevent progression or recurrence.
5. Address social determinants of health by incorporating community partnerships and population health strategies to improve access, equity, and long-term outcomes.
6. Recognize and manage special population risks, including sex-specific and pregnancy-related factors, inherited conditions, and treatment-related cardiovascular complications
7. Translate innovation into practice by identifying barriers and implementing scalable, sustainable cardiovascular prevention programs.
In support of improving patient care, the University of Pittsburgh is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
