Cardiac Amyloidosis: On the Road

Join us for a Cardiac Amyloidosis symposium in your region.


Motown Virtual Amyloidosis Symposium

Join us for the Motown Virtual Amyloidosis Symposium, directed by Karthik Ananthasubramaniam, MD, FASNC, of the Henry Ford Health System, and Aiden Abidov, MD, of Wayne State University School of Medicine.

The program includes two info-packed symposia giving you a full overview of amyloidosis from diagnosis to testing and treatment options to case reviews with expert faculty.

Be part of a focused discussion on where cardiologists and allied professionals stand with diagnosing and treating cardiac amyloidosis in Michigan.

Learn insights from discovery studies and results from patients to help determine:

  • Which patients to screen and what steps to take
  • How to properly diagnosis and treat patients
  • Which patients to refer and where
  • How collaboration in the Michigan-area medical community can be increased

Watch program overview from Course Director, Karthik Ananthasubramaniam, MD, FASNC

The Cardiac Amyloidosis: On the Road programs will:
  • Address the knowledge, competence and performance gaps in disease epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatments for ATTR-CM. 
  • Improve diagnosis across all patient populations, timely referral to amyloid experts, and knowledge of treatment options with the goal of improving outcomes of patients with ATTR-CM. 
  • Enhance the understanding of the overlap of cardiac amyloidosis with other conditions leading to a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis.  
  • Focus on the diagnostic algorithm, including the appropriate use of Tc-99m PYP, and the importance of image interpretation alongside other clinical findings. 
  • Discuss the central role of Tc-99m PYP imaging and the protocols for acquisition, processing and interpretation to ensure understanding of the procedure and the data it provides.
     
Participants of these programs will be able to:
  • Describe amyloidosis, including specific types, cardiac features and disease burden.
  • Identify barriers to identification and diagnosis of patients suspected of ATTR.
  • Recognize patients at risk for hereditary ATTR (hATTR) and wild-type ATTR (wtATTR).
  • Summarize the diagnostic evaluation for cardiac amyloidosis including the differential diagnosis. 
  • Provide details of Tc-99m PYP including imaging protocol, semi-quantitative and quantitative scoring, interpretation including identifying false positive and false negative studies, and components of an appropriate report. 
  • Demonstrate understanding of current treatments for patients with ATTR-CM.

If you have any questions about registration, please contact info@asnc.org

These programs are supported by educational grants from Pfizer.
