Women’s Health Update 2027: Cardiovascular Disease, Menopause, and Reproductive Health

Day 1: Arrhythmias and Cardiomyopathy in Women

Day 2: Menopause and Reproductive Health 

The Scripps Women’s Health Update: Cardiovascular Disease, Menopause and Reproductive Health symposium provides clinicians with current, evidence-based strategies to address conditions that are unique to women or that present, progress, and respond to treatment differently in women than in men. The activity is designed to improve the recognition, prevention, diagnosis, and management of cardiovascular disease, menopause-related conditions, and reproductive health concerns. Through practical, patient-centered education, this symposium will help clinicians provide more equitable, comprehensive, and personalized care for women with cardiovascular, menopausal, and reproductive health concerns.

1. Identify sex-specific cardiovascular risk factors, clinical presentations, and disparities in care that influence the prevention, diagnosis, and management of cardiovascular disease in women.
2. Apply evidence-based approaches to evaluate and manage common and under-recognized cardiovascular conditions in women, including arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, dyslipidemia, MINOCA, microvascular disease, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, and HFpEF.
3. Incorporate individualized cardiovascular prevention strategies, including risk assessment, coronary artery calcium scoring, obesity management, and appropriate use of GLP-1 therapies, into care for women across the lifespan.
4. Evaluate the physiologic, metabolic, cardiovascular, and quality-of-life effects of menopause and use current evidence to guide individualized menopause management, including menopausal hormone therapy when appropriate.
5. Develop multidisciplinary management plans for common menopause- and reproductive health–related concerns, including osteoporosis, genitourinary syndrome of menopause, migraines, pelvic floor disorders, vulvar conditions, and menopause in patients with endometriosis or uterine leiomyomata.

Mitigation of Relevant Financial Relationships

Disclosure of Relevant Financial Relationships and Content Validity

It is policy at Scripps Health’s Office of Continuing Medical Education (CME) for course directors, planners, moderators, faculty, and all others in a position to control content of an educational activity disclose all financial relationships with ineligible companies that they may have had within the past 24 months. This policy is in accordance with the ACCME Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education. An ineligible company is any entity whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. If an individual refuses to disclose financial relationships, they will be disqualified from being a part of the planning and implementation of the activity. Owners and/or employees of an ineligible company with business lines or products relating to the content of the activity will not be permitted to participate in the planning or execution of any accredited program.

The intent of this policy is to ensure that Scripps Health CME/CE certified activities promote quality and safety, are effective in improving medical practice, consist of valid, evidence-based content, and are independent of control from ineligible companies and free of commercial bias. Peer review of all content was conducted for all faculty presentations whose disclosure information was found to contain any financial relationships. This process consisted of reviewing the content, determining which financial relationships were relevant, and applying appropriate mitigation strategies. All listed relevant financial relationships with ineligible companies for individuals in control of content have been mitigated prior to the commencement of the activity.

The staff in Scripps Health’s Office of Continuing Medical Education have disclosed that they have no financial relationships with any ineligible companies. Any peer reviewer who is determined to have a relevant financial relationship must recuse themselves from the peer review process.
