Overview

Radcliffe Medical Education bring together a globally-renowed faculty, first presented at ESC 2024, including 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. 

Terms & Conditions

Radcliffe Education requires contributors to our CME programmes to disclose any relevant financial relationships that have occurred within the past 12 months that could create a conflict of interest. These will be identified in the faculty section if applicable.

 

The session, ‘The Bigger Picture: An Expert Assessment on the True Impact of ATTR-CM’ is accredited by the European Board for Accreditation of Continuing Education for Health Professionals (EBAC) for 1 hour of external CME credits.
