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.

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.   For more professional resources on maternal health, please visit professional.heart.org/maternal-health.

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.   Learn more at http://professional.heart.org/maternal-health

This video explores the evolving burden of shingle from epidemiology and clinical impact to risk factors and complications—while also looking ahead to how healthcare systems can shift toward more proactive, prevention-focused strategies to reduce its impact. Claim credit at https://bit.ly/45w36Tu

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.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) plays a pivotal role in cardiometabolic health, driven by its bidrectional relationship with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its impact on long-term morbidity and mortality. This interdisciplinary vodcast explores the shared pathophysiologic pathways connecting MASLD and CVD and underscores the importance of comprehensive risk evaluation. A panel of experts discusses practical, evidence-based strategies for managing MASLD, including lifestyle interventions and the evolving landscape of pharmacologic therapies. The program highlights emerging cardiometabolic agents, including GLP 1-based therapies, ande their potential to slow disease progression and reduce cardiovascular risk in affected patients. CE credits available.

Experts discuss key evidence on shingles vaccination, including efficacy, safety, and long-term protection. It compares live and recombinant vaccines, highlights clinical trial data on durability, and offers practical strategies to address vaccine hesitancy and reinforce completion of the two-dose series.

Maternal emergencies in rural communities often occur far from obstetric services, making EMS providers the first, and sometimes only, point of care. This activity explores the unique challenges and critical responsibilities of pre‑hospital teams in managing obstetric complications, from hemorrhage and hypertensive crises to field deliveries, while addressing social determinants of health and training gaps. Learners will gain practical strategies for improving readiness, communication, and coordinated systems of care to help reduce preventable maternal morbidity and mortality.   Learn more at http://professional.heart.org/maternal-health

Review recent intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) trials that have utilized minimally invasive surgical procedures (MIPS). Expert faculty will provide concise overviews of key studies including ENRICH, MIND, and MISTIE III highlighting critical findings and their implications for clinical practice. The session will also offer practical insights on navigating time-sensitive decision-making and prioritizing workflow to optimize patient outcomes.

Shingles is a reactivation of the varicella‑zoster virus and poses a substantial burden, particularly for older adults and immunocompromised individuals. During this podcast, Experts discuss guideline-based strategies to identify individuals for shingles vaccination, address vaccine hesitancy, and communicate the long-term consequences of untreated or severe shingles.
