Event Comments
On May 30 Drs. Tapan and Genovese, Maine Health, Board Certified Cardiologists in Heart Failure, presented up to date, best practice, and resources for the care of patients with systolic an diastolic heart failure. As technology and communication brings us closer together we are able to work together to improve the lives of the patients we care for as well as the practice of medicine for each other. Thank you to all who attended and to those who made this meeting possible. We had had more attendees from an increased number of institutions and hope to keep the momentum going. Please get ready for the return of Maine Chapter RIV in November. Stay tuned.
