Please plan to join us in April at The Contemporary Cardiovascular Medicine Symposium. This is an exceptional conference for invasive cardiovascular professionals. Now in its 6th year, the symposium is designed to serve as a comprehensive update on emerging and accepted techniques and methodologies for treating patients in all areas of cardiovascular disease. World-renowned faculty will present didactic lectures, workshops and discussions, and there will be live case presentations from major cardiovascular centers.

Topics for this year™s conference include: congestive heart failure, lower extremity revascularization, venous interventions, peripheral vascular disease, valvular heart disease, coronary artery disease, adult congenital heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, cardiovascular and vascular surgery, and debates in cardiovascular medicine.

Saturday afternoon will be devoted to nurses and techs, with presentations addressing our unique interests. Not only will you receive the latest and greatest information about invasive cardiology, but SICP members will be given a 50% discount for the whole conference! Also, you can sign up for the Nurse/Tech dinner presentation that is a great bargain for SICP members at only $20.00.

New this year is presentations of your worst nightmare case. If you have a case you would like to share, please visit www.cardioconcepts.org for information on how to submit.

I am very proud for the SICP to be a part of this exciting conference. I extend a sincere thank you to Zvonimir Krajcer, MD, Richard Smalling, MD, PHD, Steven R. Bailey, MD, and Alan Lumsden, MD for their support of the invasive cardiovascular professionals who work in cardiac catheterization laboratories.

Please stop by the SICP booth and say hello.
