Continuing Medical Education at New York Valves 2024: The Structural Heart Summit

The maturation of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and the rapid adoption of transcatheter mitral and tricuspid therapies have changed the treatment landscape, expanding options for patients with structural heart disease (SHD). The central mission of New York Valves is to provide health professionals involved in care of SHD patients comprehensive insight and updates, annually, on a rapidly evolving field of minimally invasive treatment options for patients with structural heart disease.

Treatment of structural heart disease is truly multidisciplinary, integrating noninvasive cardiac imaging, surgical therapies, heart failure management, and novel transcatheter approaches — underscoring the importance of professional continuing education.

By the end of this course, participants should be able to:

• Discuss the evaluation and management of patients with valvular and structural heart disease.
• Assess the imaging modalities available for diagnosing valvular and structural heart disease.
• Describe current and future therapeutic options for valvular and structural heart disease.
• Understand the skills necessary to perform transcatheter valve therapies, left atrial appendage (LAA) closure, and patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure.

New York Valves is designed for a multidisciplinary audience that includes anyone interested in the treatment of valvular and structural heart disease. This includes:

• Biomedical engineers
• Cardiac and vascular surgeons
• Cardiac imaging specialists (especially echo and CT)
• Cath lab technologists
• Clinical cardiologists
• Electrophysiologists
• Fellows
• Heart failure specialists
• Interventional cardiologists
• Medical device experts
• Nurse practitioners
• Other health care professionals
• Physicians
• Physician assistants
• Research scientists
• Surgeons

How do I earn ABIM MOC points?

CRF offers American Board of Internal Medicine Maintenance of Certification for select sessions, designed within the ABIM framework. During sessions offering MOC points, you must actively participate and complete the short session evaluation.

Who can claim ABIM MOC points?

Any appropriately badged meeting registrant can attend MOC-accredited sessions, but only ABIM diplomates are eligible to claim MOC points.

How do I claim ABIM MOC points?

Claim your points in the CRF CME portal. First, complete the online evaluation form for each session. Then you will need to enter your ABIM diplomate number, birth date, and state license number. Your MOC points will be registered and transferred to ABIM. You can claim your ABIM MOC points only once for each eligible session.

After submission, when will I see my MOC points in my ABIM physician portal?

It may take up to 72 hours for your MOC points to be posted. Also check to be sure that you entered your correct diplomate number, birthdate, and state license number. Incorrect entries will create a significant delay in processing your points.
