ASE On-Demand Webinar: Beyond the Basics of Cardiac Amyloidosis: Pearls and Pitfalls of Imaging and Diagnosis

ASE On-Demand Webinar: Beyond the Basics of Cardiac Amyloidosis: Pearls and Pitfalls of Imaging and Diagnosis is organized by American Society of Echocardiography (ASE).,,Release Date: December 2020,Expiration Date: December 2023,,Description:,The webinar is the second in a series of webinars supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Pfizer, Inc. This activity is designed for all cardiovascular sonographers and physicians with a primary interest and knowledge base in the field of cardiovascular imaging.,,This webinar will focus on the challenges of echocardiography in the diagnosis of cardiac amyloid, including patients with atypical patterns of amyloid deposition, and provide education on the complexities of the use of echocardiography in the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis, including the complementary role of echocardiography and technetium labeled pyrophosphate nuclear cardiac scintigraphy (PYP). Cardiac amyloidosis is no longer a rare and untreatable disease. Recognition of the variation in echocardiographic findings and the proper use of PYP in non-invasive diagnosis is crucial to promote early diagnosis and improved outcomes. Interactive case-based sessions will highlight unusual and important echocardiographic findings in cardiac amyloid. The role of echocardiography in the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis using PYP scanning will be outlined. Drs. Grogan and Falk will be presenting with Drs. Klein and Desai serve as moderators. The webinar is structured to promote attendee participation with ample time allotted for questions and discussion.,,Learning Objectives:,• Understand the challenges of identifying patients with cardiac amyloidosis, especially those with atypical findings.,• Recognize the role of echocardiography in assessing prognosis in cardiac amyloid,• Summarize the appropriate use of PYP in the diagnosis of cardiac amyloid, including the complementary role of echocardiography in non-invasive diagnosis.
