Despite significant advancements in prevention and treatment, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. However, new evidence is re-shaping the landscape of cardiovascular care. From the emergence of new lipid biomarkers in the prediction and management of CVD risk, to the expanding role of transaortic aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for aortic stenosis and innovative pharmacological strategies in heart failure — clinical practice is rapidly evolving. “What's hot in cardiology” will unpack these developments, providing practical guidance and innovative strategies to enhance cardiovascular risk factor management in the primary healthcare setting.

Each year in Australia, more than 57,000 acute coronary events occur among people aged 25 and over. This equates to nearly 160 people every day, or one person every nine minutes. Men experience rates of acute coronary events that are 2.3 times higher than those of women, after adjusting for age. Women, however, face unique challenges, including longer symptom duration, delays in receiving treatment, and lower usage of secondary prevention medicines. Join members of the ACS guideline expert steering group as they unpack the latest evidence and recommendations to help you diagnose and treat people with acute coronary syndromes as efficiently, accurately and safely as possible.

Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome is defined as a health disorder attributable to connections among obesity, diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). CKM syndrome includes those at risk for CVD and those with existing CVD. The clinical implications of poor CKM health are significant, with potential for premature mortality, excess morbidity, multiorgan disease, and high health care expenditures driven largely by the burden of cardiovascular disease.Managing CKM syndrome typically involves a multidisciplinary approach targeting risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity, as well as strategies to preserve kidney function and prevent cardiovascular complications. This may include lifestyle modifications (such as diet and exercise), medications to control blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and sometimes interventions such as dialysis in advanced cases of kidney disease. This webinar will examine the latest findings regarding the diagnosis and treatment of CKM syndrome. It will also provide useful tools and resources for enhancing CVD risk factor management associated with CKM in primary healthcare settings.

Approximately 65% of Australians aged 15 and over are overweight or obese. Obesity is a chronic, complex disease linked to various complications, particularly cardiovascular disease (CVD). In 2015, over two-thirds of the 4 million deaths related to high body mass index (BMI) were due to CVD. There are a number of therapies that can help address obesity and reduce CVD, including GLP-1 analogues, bariatric surgery and lifestyle-based therapies.This activity will explore the latest research on glucose-lowering therapies, bariatric surgery, lifestyle-based interventions, and their benefits for managing CVD in overweight and obese individuals. It will provide practical tools and resources for improving CVD risk factor management in primary healthcare settings.

A practical audit to help you reflect, review and enhance how you care for patients nearing end of life, using real cases and best-practice guidelines.This practical, reflective learning activity is designed to support general practitioners in delivering best practice care to patients approaching the end of life. This course provides GPs with the opportunity to meaningfully evaluate their own clinical practice and identify areas for improvement aligned with evidence-based standards.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a prevalent and under-recognised condition in Australia. By improving screening, prevention, and management of CKD, GPs can provide high-quality care and support for patients with this condition, delay the need for expensive kidney replacement therapies, and improve patient outcomes. Therefore, the detection, diagnosis and management of CKD is a crucial component of general practice. In this audit activity GPs will learn how to identify individuals in their practice at risk of CKD and without a coded diagnosis data extraction tool(e.g. PENCAT or Primary Sense). GPs will implement Kidney Health Checks for identified at risk patients without a coded diagnosis and reflect on any gaps in CKD care for each patient based upon best practice guidelines. Finally, the GP will consider and document options for improvement in the practice systems and in consultations.

The Safer Families Centre has developed a clinical audit CPD activity for GPs on Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Identification and Initial Response. The activity aims to provide a better understanding of IPV and how to identify and ask patients about it. GPs will also strengthen their capacity to identify barriers to asking about IPV and how to overcome those barriers. ‘Intimate Partner Violence (IPV)’ also known as ‘Domestic Violence (DV)’ refers to any behaviour by an intimate partner (or ex-partner) that causes physical, sexual or psychological harm, including acts of physical violence, sexual coercion, psychological abuse and controlling behaviours.(1) It is a pattern of behaviour where one partner is usually exerting power and control over the other partner over time. This Full Clinical Audit is designed to give GPs an opportunity to implement learnings from their initial data analysis and review if those changes have been effective, and to identify any additional barriers that may present even with those changes. GPs will also be required to outline their strategy for how to monitor their progress in the future and sustain the improvements they noted from completing the audit activity.
