This introductory session, recorded in July 2026, makes the case for pediatric cardiac rehabilitation, addressing long-standing misconceptions about exercise restriction and reviewing the physiologic and psychosocial benefits of physical activity across the spectrum of congenital heart disease.

This session will examine the referral process from inpatient care to outpatient cardiac rehabilitation, highlighting opportunities to strengthen transitions across the continuum of care.

This session introduces the Cardiac Rehab Change Package and highlights key resources available through AACVPR, including those from the TAKEheart initiative. We will explore strategies for driving system-level change to elevate the role of cardiac rehabilitation, with a focus on administrative support, staffing models and compensation structures.

In this session, the presenter will discuss how masters athletes (individuals >35 years) increasingly undergo cardiovascular evaluation, raising important questions about risk stratification, imaging interpretation, and safe participation in sport. Clinicians and athletes often ask: Which findings represent physiologic adaptation versus disease? Which imaging or exercise test results signal higher risk? And how should current guideline recommendations be applied to competitive older athletes?

In this session, the presenter will provide an update on the key recommendations for secondary prevention as per the 2026 ACC/AHA/AACVPR Guideline on the Management of Dyslipidemia, and an overview of clinical studies and pharmacologic actions of novel lipid therapies.
