Medical Training AIPreventive Cardiology Risk Reduction
You'll be able to assess a patient's cardiovascular risk and select appropriate lifestyle and pharmacologic interventions based on current guidelines.
What this track covers
This track covers cardiovascular risk assessment and prevention across the full patient lifecycle, from ASCVD risk scoring and coronary artery calcium use to lipid, blood pressure, and glycemic management. It also addresses prevention strategies for special populations, including women, older adults, and patients with inflammatory conditions.
What you will practice
- Calculate ASCVD risk and identify risk-enhancing factors
- Decide when coronary artery calcium scoring changes management
- Select statin intensity and non-statin add-on therapy for LDL targets
- Choose antihypertensive agents based on comorbidities and resistant hypertension patterns
- Weigh cardiometabolic medication options against weight and glycemic goals
Simulator scenario
A 52-year-old with borderline ASCVD risk, a family history of early coronary disease, and mixed dyslipidemia presents for a shared decision-making conversation about starting statin therapy.
Board question topics
- ASCVD risk score interpretation and risk enhancers
- Statin selection and LDL goal attainment
- Hypertension drug selection and resistant hypertension workup
- Cardiometabolic risk in obesity and diabetes
