Frank T. Bunch, MD, an interventional and peripheral cardiologist with Cardiology Associates, recently served on the faculty of the New Cardiovascular Horizons conference in New Orleans, Louisiana. The conference is one of the largest international multidisciplinary conferences with over 3,500 participants - cardiologists, interventional radiologists, surgeons, internests, family practice physicians, podiatrists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, cath lab personnel - all coming together to learn the best treatment modalities for cardiovascular disease. Craig M. Walker, M.D., founder and Medical Director of Cardiovascular Institute of the South and co-chairman of the conference, says, “We are trying to train the primary care physicians, the interventionist, the radiologist, the podiatrist, everyone that treats this sort of disease.”
David E. Allie, MD, Chief of Cardiothoracic and Endovascular Surgery, Cardiovascular Institute of the South/Lafayette, and NCVH Conference Co-Chairman, concurs. “Cardiovascular disease really affects us from head to toe. The meeting is the right meeting, at the right time and really for the right purpose. And that is why the attendance is so well… Well, we’re very proud to have the masters and legends of cardiovascular disease, and not only cardiovascular disease… also podiatry, nursing, wound care, endocrinology- really top of the line faculty throughout the world. It’s a top of the line educational and social event.”
