For 2025, the Cardiology Self-Assessment Program (CardSAP) presents a collection of evidence-based updates that are essential for clinicians who aim to stay at the forefront of cardiovascular pharmacotherapy and the delivery of personalized, patient-centered care. The target audience for CardSAP 2025 is board-certified cardiology pharmacy specialists and advanced practitioners specializing in cardiovascular care.

The 2025 CardSAP release comprises 10 learning activities offering a total of 20.5 available continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits. Each activity may be taken separately for BCCP credits; November 17, 2026, is the deadline to submit a required post-test for recertification. The book was developed under the leadership of Faculty Panel Chair Ian B. Hollis, Pharm.D., FCCP, BCCP, BCPS, Associate Professor, University of North Carolina Eshelman School of Pharmacy, Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
CardSAP content explores emerging and complex topics such as transthyretin amyloidosis, iron deficiency in heart failure, and HF medication management in patients with continuous-flow LVADs, while also addressing underrecognized conditions like cardiac sarcoidosis and microvascular CVD/MINOCA/ANOCA. It highlights the evolving role of GLP-1 receptor agonists in HFpEF and cardiovascular disease, and integrates contemporary themes such as artificial intelligence and advanced statistical methods like the win ratio in heart failure research. Two case series—Mental Health and Pain Management in CVD and Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Health—offer practical, interdisciplinary insights for managing comorbidities in special populations.
Each CardSAP release has continuing education activities that cover the most recent published data (past 3–5 years) on a specific therapeutic area or patient-care problem. This content is provided as a full-color electronic book (interactive PDF) with high-level updates in up to three possible formats as best suits the topic delivery:
- Traditional review-style chapters
- Case series (a feature that has major sections of learning content bookended by a sample case and its explained answer)
- Recorded webcast (a PowerPoint presentation provided as an MP4 file as well as a PDF of slides and transcribed narrative)
Every CardSAP release comes in two full-color online formats: (1) interactive PDFs you can save to your desktop or print; and (2) an e-media version you can view on an e-reader, tablet, iOS or Android smart phone.
CardSAP chapters and features are fully referenced, with clickable hyperlinks to literature compilers such as PubMed. Other links provide ready access to clinical practice guidelines, official recommendations, and patient assessment tools. Graphics focus on pivotal studies, patient care scenarios, and take-home points that can be readily integrated into clinical practice.
