ACC CathSAP 2024: Cardiac Catheterization & Interventional Cardiology Self-Assessment Program

Comprehensive review and self-assessment in interventional cardiology

CathSAP 2024 (Cardiac Catheterization & Interventional Cardiology Self-Assessment Program) is the American College of Cardiology’s (ACC) premier learning resource covering the full spectrum of interventional cardiology. Designed as an in-depth educational and self-assessment tool, CathSAP helps cardiologists strengthen their expertise, stay current with the latest advances, and prepare effectively for the Boards.

– Perfect Your Knowledge of Interventional Cardiology: Identify knowledge gaps, reinforce your existing foundation, and expand your understanding of the latest clinical practices and innovations in interventional cardiology.

– Stay Current with Advances in the Field: Review key clinical trial data, updated guidelines, and emerging techniques across coronary, peripheral, and structural interventions.

– Collaborative Maintenance Pathway (CMP): CathSAP now includes the Collaborative Maintenance Pathway (CMP) – an option that integrates continuous learning with assessment, providing an efficient way to stay engaged in lifelong learning and meet MOC requirements.

– Board Preparation Resource: Prepare for certification or recertification exams with access to the ABIM exam blueprint, hundreds of Board-style questions with detailed explanations, comprehensive educational text, and expert lectures.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this program, learners should be able to:

Apply appropriate case selection and patient management strategies in interventional cardiology.
Interpret and use major clinical trial data in coronary, peripheral, and structural interventions.
Define the indications and appropriate utilization of coronary, peripheral, and structural procedures in cardiovascular disease management.
Discuss techniques, imaging considerations, and safety issues—including radiation risk—related to interventional procedures.
Review essential vascular biology concepts, including plaque formation, injury, and restenosis.
Demonstrate appropriate use of pharmacological agents in interventional cardiology, including antiplatelets, thrombolytics, anticoagulants, antiarrhythmics, and vasoactive drugs.
