Medical Management of Aortic Disease If They Don’t Need Surgery, What Do They Need - Journal-based CME
Journal-based CME Activity
Methodist DeBakey Cardiovascular Journal
Management of aortic disease has evolved significantly over the past few decades. A preemptive diagnostic approach with a multidisciplinary team and shared decision-making has led to improved clinical outcomes. Surgery is the cornerstone of management for most aortic conditions; however, medical therapy is now an important adjunctive therapy in most if not all aortic patients. Herein, we review the role and evidence behind medical management of patients with aortic disease.
