HeartBEATS from Lifelong Learning™ episodes

  • Rare Cardiac Conditions in Pregnancy

    Rare cardiac conditions in pregnancy require early recognition and coordinated care to reduce maternal risk. In this HeartBEATS from Lifelong LearningTM vodcast, cardio-obstetrics experts discuss the diagnosis, risk assessment, and management of rare but high-risk cardiovascular conditions, including pulmonary arterial hypertension, inherited arrhythmia syndromes, cardiomyopathies, and aortopathies. Learners will gain practical insights to support multidisciplinary care and improve outcomes for pregnant and postpartum patients.

    Content advisory: This educational vodcast discusses rare cardiac conditions in pregnancy, including clinical scenarios in which pregnancy termination may be considered; the views expressed are those of the individual speakers for educational purposes only and should not be interpreted as positions of the American Heart Association or as medical, legal, ethical, or policy guidance.

  • Prostate Cancer, Androgen Deprivation Therapy, and Cardiovascular Risk

    Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) remains foundational in the treatment of prostate cancer. However, prolonged and intensified use of ADT is associated with clinically meaningful cardiovascular (CV) toxicity. This course reviews the major classes of ADT, their mechanisms of action, and the biological pathways linking androgen suppression to CV risk, with emphasis on metabolic dysfunction, vascular injury, and thrombotic risk. Learners will gain practical insight into integrating cardiovascular considerations into prostate cancer management.

  • Closing the Gaps in Shingles Care: Vaccination, Coordination, and Equity

    This interactive learning experience is designed to strengthen shingles prevention in practice. Through expert discussion and polling questions, learners will review the burden of disease in at-risk populations, examine evidence on vaccine safety and efficacy, and explore team-based strategies to improve vaccination uptake. Participants will gain practical approaches for addressing barriers and supporting patient-centered care.

  • CKM Syndrome Staging and HF Prevention: Identifying Patients Before Symptomatic Heart Failure Develops

    Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome reflects the interconnected relationship among cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic health. In this vodcast, explore how CKM syndrome staging can help primary care clinicians recognize risk, identify pre-heart failure, and intervene before symptomatic heart failure develops. Watch now to strengthen your approach to early CKM risk identification and prevention.

  • Unpacking Metabolic Conditions: An Interdisciplinary Conversation

    Metabolic disease is increasingly recognized as a complex, multisystem condition with implications across the liver, cardiovascular system, and beyond. This relevant program guides clinicians through practical strategies to identify and manage metabolic dysfunction, including MASLD/MASH, using accessible tools such as HgA1c, ASCVD risk estimation, CKD staging, and noninvasive fibrosis scores. Our skilled experts highlight newly approved pharmacotherapies and their systemic impact, supporting a more coordinatied, whole-patient approach to care.

  • Pregnancy Planning, Evaluation and Management of Patients with Pre-existing Cardiac Disease
    Cardiovascular disease remains a leading and preventable contributor to maternal death, and women with the highest-risk heart conditions can face maternal morbidity rates approaching 50%. In this vodcast, learn how to support patients with preexisting heart disease through every stage of the reproductive journey, from preconception counseling to postpartum care. This session highlights risk stratification, collaborative care planning, and evidence-based strategies to improve maternal and fetal health outcomes.

  • Reproductive Health Counseling for Women with High-Risk Heart Disease
    Women with cardiovascular disease face unique reproductive health challenges across the lifespan, yet many report unmet counseling needs, limited care coordination, and barriers to informed decision-making. In this expert-led session, faculty explore how life course and reproductive justice frameworks can inform reproductive health counseling for patients with cardiac disease. Participants will learn strategies for discussing contraception, pregnancy planning, and reproductive goals using the PATH framework and shared decision-making principles. The program also highlights the impact of social drivers of health, multidisciplinary collaboration, and cardiac risk assessment in supporting safe, equitable, and patient-centered reproductive care.

  • Therapeutic Applications for MASH/MASLD.

    Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) are rapidly increasing in prevalence, driven by rising rates of obesity, insulin resistance, and other metabolic risk factors. Faculty will review zthe physiologic roles of glucagon and incretin receptor signaling and explan how emerging therapies modulate these pathways to improve liver and cardiometabolic outcomes. Join this program to stay current and gain practical guidance to help improve the care of patients with MASLD/MASH.

    CE credits available.
