Overview

This is a live and virtual course designed for cardiologists, internists, nurse practitioners, nurses, physician assistants, and anyone who cares for patients with different types of amyloidosis. The majority of the speaker's form part of our multidisciplinary amyloidosis team. There will be an emphasis on cardiac manifestations of amyloidosis, and experts in the fields of cardiac imaging, electrophysiology, and advanced heart failure and transplantation will discuss new diagnostic and therapeutic options. There will also be educational sessions on the neurologic, gastrointestinal, renal, and musculoskeletal manifestations of amyloidosis. Our experts in the AL Amyloidosis and Multiple Myeloma Program will provide an update on AL amyloidosis and ongoing clinical trials.

Target Audience

Any healthcare provider who cares for patients with amyloidosis. This includes physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, physician assistants, medical students, and residents/fellows who specialize in Neurology, Gastroenterology, Hand Surgery, Hematology and Oncology.

• Recognize the clinical contributions from different sub-specialists when caring for these patients
• Develop a mechanism to identify patients with advanced amyloidosis who could benefit from clinical trials and advanced therapeutics
• Diagnose the type of amyloidosis and implement a treatment strategy
