Join University of Minnesota Cardiology Fellow Rahul Singh, MD for a talk on Coronary Intravascular Imaging and Physiologic Testing.
Save the Date! Cardiology Fellows-in-Training will have the opportunity to hear from some of Minnesota’s top cardiologists about their real-world experiences during the transition from training to practice. We will have a panel discussion for approximately 90 minutes, with time outside of that for questions and networking.
Anemia in CKD is associated with poor CV outcomes, increased risk of CKD progression, decreased health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and increased healthcare resource utilization. Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents have been the standard of care for treating anemia in CKD but are associated with CV safety concerns; other therapies include red blood cell transfusions and iron administration, but each potentially has severe adverse events.
Hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHIs) are promising novel agents in development for treating CKD-associated anemia. These oral agents increase endogenous erythropoietin production, improve iron absorption and mobilization, and decrease hepcidin production in the liver.
Anemia in Patients with CVD and CKD: Current Management and Potential Role of HIF-PHIs will provide cardiologists with information about the etiology of anemia in CKD, the effects on CV disease, HRQOL, and function, advantages and limitations of current management strategies, and the efficacy and safety data for HIF-PHIs in late-stage development for the management of CKD-related anemia.
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

Join us the second Tuesday of each month for our ongoing Fellows in Training (FIT) Lecture Series. On Tuesday, August 9th from 6-8pm Kathryn F. Larson, M.D., Chief Fellow in the Division of Cardiology at Mayo Clinic will present a talk on Pericarditis.
This event is free, but registration is required. Register here and mark your calendars for the second Tuesday of every month to join us for future lectures.
Presentation
Using a case-based format, we will review the basics of diagnosis, ancillary testing, and therapeutics for pericarditis. The talk will include a discussion of the 2015 ESC Guidelines on pericardial disease, as well as a brief overview of key pivotal trials in the management of pericarditis (both initial episodes and recurrence).
