Utilizing Echocardiography in the Diagnosis of HCM: Fine-Tuning Your Approach for the New Era of HCM Management
Location: Woodrow Wilson BCD, Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center
Organized by: Answers in CME
Supported by: Bristol Myers Squibb
Sponsored by: Global Education Group
Detection and management of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is complicated and challenging, and is often missed in patients—with potentially devastating consequences. In addition to a physical examination and a detailed clinical history, diagnostic imaging tests are essential to confirm a HCM diagnosis, with echocardiography the main tool. However, clinicians struggle to accurately interpret echocardiograms to diagnose patients with HCM. Join this live presentation as Dr. Desai and Dr. Martinez, experts in cardiovascular medicine, provide guidance to cardiologists and cardiovascular sonographers to optimally diagnose HCM, outlining practical strategies to utilize echocardiography, using case examples, and describing the clinical impact of cardiac myosin inhibitors in managing patients with HCM.
Accreditation
This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of Global Education Group (Global) and Answers in CME. Global is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Global Education Group designates this live activity for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
The European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS)-European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME) has an agreement of mutual recognition of continuing medical education (CME) credit with the American Medical Association (AMA). European physicians interested in converting AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ into European CME credit (ECMEC) should contact the UEMS (www.uems.eu).
