Nuclear Cardiology Now: Middle East
This event has now passed
Join us for the third annual Nuclear Cardiology Now: Middle East, June 8-10 to access the latest information in nuclear cardiology to help improve PatientFirst care. Learn from globally recognized faculty as they share the latest information on nuclear cardiology and evidence-based treatment options for patients with suspected cardiovascular disease.
The program includes contemporary didactic lectures, case-based learning, and in-depth panel discussions all designed to enhance your skills and knowledge with the common goal of improving patient-centered care and outcomes.
Participants can earn CME accredited by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialists.
Learning Objectives
- Illustrate the approach to managing patients with chest pain in the Middle East, United States, and Europe
- Describe the role of PET myocardial perfusion imaging in the evaluation of patients with suspected cardiovascular disease
- Review practical solutions to evaluating patients presenting with a combination of normal and abnormal diagnostic results
- Illustrate the important role of nuclear imaging in utilizing a multimodality approach to managing patients with amyloidosis
- Describe advances in nuclear imaging for the evaluation of cardiac infection and inflammation
