The Heart and Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick Proudly Presents: THE HEART FAILURE SYMPOSIUM May 12, 2012, Casino New Brunswick, Moncton, NB Moderated by: Dr David Bewick AGENDA 0900-0905 - Welcome Dr. David Bewick MD, FRCPC benefit from primary ICD's. He will also address the new development of LVAD’s and the clinical applications they have for patients. Associate Professor of Medicine, Dalhousie University, Director of Cardiovascular Health, Wellness and Heart Function Clinic, New Brunswick Heart Centre, Saint John Regional Hospital, Saint John, NB 1025-1045 - Break 1045-1105 - Surgical Treatment in Heart Failure Dr. David Bewick is the Director of Cardiac Rehabilitation and the Heart Function Clinic. He obtained his medical degree from Dalhousie University in 1980, where he also completed training in Internal Medicine and Cardiology.

Dr. Bewick organized the first New Brunswick Heart Symposium and has been the Chair since that time. His clinical interests include echocardiography including transesophageal and stress echocardiography. Marc Pelletier MD, FRCSC Dr. Bewick has a legendary history of working with heart failure patients. As today’s moderator, Dr. Bewick brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise. He has been a strong supporter of physician education and best practice, as evident in his leadership with the NB Heart Symposium. 0905-1005 - Managing Heart Failure in a Difficult World Associate Professor of Medicine, Dalhousie University, Clinical Department Head, Cardiac Surgery, New Brunswick Heart Centre, Saint John, NB Dr. Marc Pelletier is the Clinical Department Head of Cardiac Surgery. He previously has held the position of Medical Director of Cardiac Surgery at El Camino Hospital and as a heart and lung transplant surgeon at Stanford Medical Center. After obtaining his medical degree from Dalhousie University in 1994, he completed a Cardiac Surgery Residency and a Masters of Science in 2000 at McGill University. He then traveled to Stanford University for a Fellowship in Cardiothoracic Transplantation, which was followed by a faculty position as Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center. In 2004, Dr. Pelletier returned to Stanford, as Assistant Professor, before taking his current position with the New Brunswick Heart Centre. Jonathan G. Howlett MD FRCPC FACC FSCAI Dr. Pelletier will highlight current surgical therapies available to heart failure patients. This is an ever evolving field which highlights the continued changes in patient care and management. Clinical Professor of Medicine, Department of Cardiac Sciences, Foothills Medical Centre and University of Calgary,AB 1105-1125 - The Role of Heart Function Clinics Dr. Jonathan Howlett is a Clinical Professor of Medicine at University of Calgary, Foothills Medical Centre and Director of Heart Failure. His current activities also include clinical research in heart failure, as well as evaluation of health care delivery and outcomes and knowledge translation. He initiated and led the 2.8 M study A Strategy of Telehomecare for the Treatment of Heart Failure (STARTEL), a multicentre Canadian study evaluating the impact of telehomecare treatment for heart failure patients with issues of difficult access to care in Atlantic Canada. Ronald Bourgeois MD, FRCPC Today Dr. Jonathan Howlett will speak on the diagnosis of heart failure and various management strategies for the heart failure patients. Dr. Howlett’s research work is in keeping with his interest in disseminating knowledge and implementing best practices for care providers in heart failure as well as other cardiovascular conditions. 1005-1025 - Role of Device Therapies in Heart Failure Michel D’Astous MD, FRCPC Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Dr. George L. Dumont Hospital, Moncton, NB The last few years have witnessed a surge in both the use of Internal Cardiac Defibrillators (ICDs) and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapies (CRT). With that we have also seen the ever evolving use of Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADSs). Understanding how these various device therapies come into play in the treatment of heart failure remains a challenge. There are several approaches to treating patients depending on their medical history and type of heart failure. During this session Dr. D’Astous will offer his insight on various device therapies and the role they play in heart failure. He will discuss the current role of pacemakers and the evolving role of CRT in heart failure. Dr. D’Astous will help identify for us which elderly patients Cardiology, The Moncton Hospital Dr. Ron Bourgeois is Division Chief of Cardiology at the Moncton Hospital. He previously completed his training at the Université de Sherbrooke. He brings a wealth of experience in working with heart failure patients and is passionate about the role of heart function clinics as a standard of care for these patients. He has had a direct role in the development of the Moncton Hospital Heart Function Clinic. During this session Dr. Bourgeois will examine the role of heart function clinics, particularly how the clinic is key in preventing readmissions for heart failure. He will address the difficulties in transitioning the Class III-IV patient to their home environment. 1125-1145 - Exploring Palliative Care Options Jessica Hemmings MD When to introduce palliative care into your patient’s medical plan is often a difficult and daunting task. Chronic heart failure is a serious condition and equivalent to malignant disease in terms of symptom burden, depression, quality of life issues and mortality. Only a small number of chronic heart failure patients have the involvement of palliative care. Dr. Hemming’s will identify when palliative care should be introduced and what resources are available. Dr. Hemmings will demonstrate the importance of engaging patients in these conversations and the benefits for all those involved. 1145-1230 - Q & A Panel Discussion Moderator, Dr. David Bewick The panel will assemble to discuss issues and challenges of the heart failure patient, along with finding common pathways to improving care of these patients. A MESSAGE FROM DANIEL CONNOLLY, CEO OF THE HEART AND STROKE FOUNDATION OF NEW BRUNSWICK On behalf of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick, I would like to invite you to participate alongside your colleagues in this Heart Failure Symposium. The objective of the symposium is to provide participants with a comprehensive overview of heart failure including case studies and current treatment options. We have brought together leading experts in the field who will impart their knowledge through presentations and a panel discussion over the course of a half day symposium. As of today, nearly 7600 New Brunswickers are affected by this disease. This number continues to grow. We encourage you to join us to learn more about this very significant and wide spread health concern. I look forward to seeing you in May. Dan Connolly Heart Failure Symposium Learning Objectives The participant should be able to: 1) Diagnose and manage basic heart failure. 2) Recognize a patient that would benefit from the introduction of various device therapies; cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), pacemaker and internal cardiac defibrillator (ICD). 3) Describe the evolution of cardiac surgery in relation to heart failure. 4) Identify the importance of heart function clinics in the management of the heart failure patient. 5) Integrate palliative care practices into one’s clinical practice where applicable.
