NEW ORLEANS?About 5,000 medical professionals attended the fourth annual New Cardiovascular Horizons and Management of the Diabetic Foot & Wound Healing conference in October in New Orleans. The attendance was the largest the conference has seen since its founding in 2000.

Cardiovascular Institute of the South hosted the three-day conference, which attracted leaders in healthcare worldwide to discuss the latest advancements in cardiovascular and peripheral vascular care and to allow professionals to earn continuing education credit. It is the fourth largest cardiology conference in the nation.

Renowned physicians from around the world served as guest lecturers for the seminars, including CIS Drs. Craig Walker and David Allie, who serve as co-chairs for the multidisciplinary conference. CIS has spearheaded New Cardiovascular Horizons since its beginning to educate and train medical professionals, including physicians, podiatrists, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists and medical technologists.    

?The goal of New Cardiovascular Horizons is to share visions and to educate,? Dr. Craig Walker said. ?The conference is an extension of CIS?s mission to couple compassionate care with the most modern technology in the world. New Cardiovascular Horizons imparts that mission of forward-thinking to other medical centers worldwide.?

CIS has consistently positioned itself at the forefront of technology. Providing the most up-to-date technology with compassionate care has been the institute?s guiding mission during its 20 years of service to south Louisiana. CIS is comprised of one of the most respected groups of cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons and thoracic surgeons, representing every specialty in heart and circulatory medicine. With a team of more than 400 dedicated staff, CIS serves communities throughout the state, as well as attracting national and international patients to its 12 centers.

In addition to offering education, New Cardiovascular Horizons honored interventional cardiologist Martin Leon with the third annual Achievement Award. Dr. Leon?s work has had a worldwide impact by helping to unite the once-disparate worlds of American, European and Asian cardiovascular medicine.
