Chapter 10. Risk Stratification, Exercise Testing, Exercise Prescription, and Program Safety. The key to safe and successful CR is risk stratification regarding the likelihood of recurrent acute coronary syndromes and exercise-associated adverse CVD events. This chapter explores how an individual’s cardiometabolic fitness (functional capacity + CVD risk factor burden) is one of the major determinants of sustained CVD wellness. Presenter: James A Stone, MD, PhD. Date: March 3, 2010 Time: 1:00pm – 2:00pm ET |
| April 7, 2010 |
Chapter 6. Behavioural and Psychosocial Issues The complex issues of behavioural modification, psychosocial assessment, sexual health and their appropriate treatments are presented in this chapter. There is an in depth discussion of the science behind behaviour change theory and a detailed analysis of the effects of depression and anxiety on cardiovascular disease outcomes. Presenter: Peter Prior, PhD, C. Psych. Date: April 7, 2010 Time: 1:00pm – 2:00pm ET |
| April 21, 2010 ( this session will be in French) |

Chapter 14. Special Populations One of the most popular and widely read chapters of the previous Guidelines was that of Special Populations within CR programs. We are all challenged almost daily to provide innovative, yet safe and effective, CR services to these patients. This chapter expands on the previous Guidelines and includes extensive new information on pacemaker and ICD patients along with information on CR in children and adolescents with congenital heart disease. Presenter: Bob Haennel, PhD, FACSM Date: May 5, 2010 Time: 1:00pm – 2:00pm ET |

Chapter 3. The Pathophysiology of Atherosclerosis and Cardiovascular Disease This chapter examines the current thinking and scientific evidence regarding atherosclerosis with particular emphasis on the chronic inflammatory, relapsing and recurring nature of this disease process. The importance of vascular endothelial oxidative stress as a driving force behind the inflammatory nature of atherosclerosis and the substantial positive effects health behaviour interventions and pharmacological therapies can have on levels of vascular oxidative stress are also discussed. Presenter: James A Stone, MD, PhD. Date: June 2, 2010 Time: 1:00pm – 2:00pm ET |
| Date TBA |
Chapter 9. Health Behaviour Interventions and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factor Modification. This chapter was written in conjunction with the Canadian Vascular Coalition. As a consequence of their direct input, this chapter is the first fully consolidated and harmonized presentation of cardiovascular health recommendations with respect to physical activity, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemias, obesity, and smoking cessation in Canada. Presenter: James A Stone, MD, PhD. |

AACVPR Webcast Therapeutic Options for the Patient with Refractory Hyperlipidemia March 30, 2010, 1 pm Eastern Time The proper management of patients with lipid disorders is an important aspect of preventive cardiovascular medicine. While most patients do well on their prescribed medical regimens, many do not reach their lipid goals. This presentation focuses on the proper use of lipid medication, common pitfalls in lipid management, and treatment options for patients who do not respond adequately despite the use of properly designed medical regimens.
