From Guidelines to Bedside: Integrating Palliative Care Across the Cardiovascular Disease Trajectory is a webinar designed to equip clinicians with practical, evidence-based strategies to embed palliative care into routine cardiovascular practice. Grounded in the latest American Heart Association guidelines and emerging evidence, this webinar reframes palliative care as a core component of high-quality cardiovascular care—not just end-of-life support.

Participants will gain up-to-date insights on palliative care recommendations across the cardiovascular disease (CVD) spectrum, including heart failure, coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, valvular disease, and arrhythmias.

Through clinical case examples, the webinar demonstrates how to apply guideline-informed palliative principles at three critical timepoints: at diagnosis, during disease progression or exacerbation, and at end of life.

Key Learning Highlights

• Current guideline updates and evidence supporting early and integrated palliative care in CVD
• Practical approaches to symptom management, prognostic conversations, and advance care planning
• Strategies for aligning complex cardiovascular treatments and procedures with patient goals of care
• Tools to support caregivers, address psychosocial distress, and improve quality of life

This webinar is ideal for nurses, advanced practice providers, physicians, and interprofessional team members seeking to improve patient-centered outcomes, reduce symptom burden, and deliver compassionate, comprehensive cardiovascular care.
