Important Information and Resources
Q&A with Dr. Karen Griffin (PDF) Recently, we had the opportunity to discuss emerging trends in cardiovascular science with distinguished American Heart Association Member, Dr. Karen Griffin. In our brief Q&A, Dr. Griffin discusses the opportunities in being a member and how the lives of patients are positively affected.
Q&A with Dr. Pedro Jose (PDF) As a longtime AHA member, Pedro A.

CME Education
Hypertension Simulation
Test your clinical assessment and critical thinking skills as you evaluate and manage patients with hypertension (HTN) based on newly released 2017 guidelines. In this set of 2 simulations, you will be immersed in a screen-based virtual environment where you will interact with a life-like virtual patient, complete with dynamic monitoring, dialoguing, diagnostic testing, drugs, intervention options and performance debriefing.
