The post-Covid era has seen a surge in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a condition which impacts blood circulation. Many primary care physicians remain unfamiliar with POTS, leading to frequent misdiagnoses, often mistaken for anxiety or other disorders. Due to complex and overlapping symptoms, diagnosis can be difficult. Closing these gaps demands improved diagnostic criteria, better physician education, and expanded research to enhance patient care. For individuals with multiple medical conditions, proper exercise education is essential for safe and effective movement. Nutrition education also plays a crucial role in managing symptoms. Dietary and exercise adjustments can enhance heart and lung function, support blood pressure regulation, improve cholesterol management., and promote long-term health for cardiac and pulmonary patients. Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a condition characterized by high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs which can make it harder for the heart to pump blood efficiently. Awareness is vital for early detection and better patient outcomes. Comprehensive education on symptoms, medication adherence, and lifestyle modifications can help individuals take proactive measures in managing their condition. This year’s conference will provide information on exercise prescription and education for patients with comorbidities, nutrition education for cardiac and pulmonary patients, Pulmonary Hypertension, and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.
