New Cardiovascular Horizons 2013

New Cardiovascular Horizons (NCVH) is a Peripheral Intervention Conference focusing on Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) with a special emphasis on Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI).

The goal of NCVH is to bring together key disciplines to focus on a team approach to total cardiovascular care in patients with PAD and CLI. This approach creates an environment for clinical collaboration to address the continuum of care for the patient.

NCVH is the highlight educational program of the South Louisiana Clinical Research Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our educational leadership team includes 25 course directors and 200 faculty from the leading peripheral intervention centers around the world.

The course directors and faculty develop innovative contemporary content that fosters interaction among attendees. Our program provides actionable clinical insights in the areas of cutting edge interventions, new technology and education to support optimal outcomes for patients.

Each year, on average, the conference assembles 1,600 attendees and 100 exhibitors. We provide 26 LIVE interventional cases, 6+ LIVE case transmission sites around the world, 300+ scientific lectures and 200+ faculty including clinicians considered preeminent in the field of medicine.

NCVH is well known for hospitality and a family friendly environment. The learning experience is like no other in a city that celebrates life!
