Due to the recent success of New Horizons in Amyloidosis, Radcliffe Cardiology are excited to introduce a new 2-day event ‘New Horizons in Cardiomyopathy’ (NHC) in February 2025.
The event, hosted on Radcliffe Cardiology, will be streamed on Tuesday 25 February - Wednesday 26 February 2025. It promises an interactive and informative experience, updating professionals on cardiac amyloidosis and cardiomyopathy diagnosis and treatment.
Day 1 will focus on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), with a detailed exploration of HCM and an emphasis on emerging therapies and management strategies. Day 2 will focus on amyloidosis, providing a comprehensive update on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac amyloidosis, along with insights into the latest research and clinical practices.
The course directors, Prof Rodney Falk (Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, US), Prof Perry Elliott (University College London, UK), and Prof Marianna Fontana (University College London, UK), will lead a distinguished group of faculty members who are renowned experts in the field of cardiac amyloidosis. The faculty will encompass a diverse range of medical specialties, facilitating a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach. This approach is designed to encourage collaboration and knowledge-sharing among healthcare professionals, ultimately enhancing the understanding and management of cardiac amyloidosis and cardiomyopathy.
Our aim is to provide a programme to educate healthcare professionals on the evolving management practices in cardiac amyloidosis and cardiomyopathy in an informal and engaging learning environment featuring thought-provoking presentations, cases and practical masterclasses.
Register now to gain essential insights and strategies on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac amyloidosis and cardiomyopathy. We look forward to welcoming you.
*New Horizons in Cardiomyopathy’s programme has been submitted to the European Board for Accreditation of Continuing Education for Health Professionals (EBAC) seeking 6 CME points, equating to 6 hours of learning.
