3. Program Educational Objectives As a result of this educational activity, physicians will: Learn to manage the hemodynamic derangements and complications of serious and/or life-threatening elevations in systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure in the perioperative setting. Learn how to select among intravenous pharmacologic agents, including calcium channel blockers/dihydropyridines, that offer unique benefits for blood pressure control in the setting of cardiovascular disease. Learn how landmark trials and analyses focusing on BP reduction may have an impact on current and future strategies for management of BP elevations in the setting of cardiovascular surgery. Be able to assess the need for and implement optimal BP-lowering strategies for patients with serious and/or life-threatening elevations in systolic and/or diastolic BP in the setting of cardiothoracic surgery, with a special focus on neurologic end point optimization.
