June 2, 2010 - PRLog -- NEW ORLEANS – New Cardiovascular Horizons (NCVH), a multidisciplinary cardiovascular conference taking place June 2 – 5 in New Orleans, has been accredited to offer nursing contact hours by Promedica International CME.
   
Promedica has approved NCVH 2010 for a maximum of 37.13 nursing contact hours. Promedica is approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider #8495.

NCVH focuses on the entire team involved in all aspects of cardiovascular interventions including cardiologists, primary care physicians, cath lab technologists, podiatrists, nurses, physical therapists and wound care specialists.  

“We bring all of the specialties that care for patients with peripheral artery disease together to find new ways to treat this common and lethal disease,” said Course Director Craig M. Walker, MD. “It is important to globally assess and provide the best patient care from the very beginning. A high percentage of patients do not need amputation, rather only some type of medical management and wound care.”

Concurrent sessions of particular interest to nursing professionals in attendance at NCVH 2010 will include:
• Wound Care Intensive for Nurses and Specialists – Wednesday, June 2
• Trends in Cardiovascular Nursing – Thursday, June 3
• Comprehensive Cardiovascular and Diabetic Nursing – Friday, June 4
