Overview
First presented at ESC 2024, this on-demand programme sees Prof Julian Gillmore (University College London, London, UK) lead a distinguished faculty compromising of Dr Ahmad Masri (Oregon Health & Science University Medical Group, Portland, US), Dr Margot Davis (University of British Columbia, Vancouver, CA), and Dr Giuseppe Vergaro (Sant’Anna, Pisa, IT).
The faculty present recent epidemiological data on ATTR-CN incidence and trends. The session will teach how to identify patients who undergo detailed diagnosis and list the red flags indicating ATTR amyloidosis.
The live ESC 2024 symposium was CME-accredited, this on-demand version is not.
