307 - ENHANCING HCM MANAGEMENT: OPTIMIZING DIAGNOSIS, MANAGEMENT, AND PATIENT REFERRAL

Saturday, October 26, 2024

12:30 PM – 1:30 PM PT

Room: 118-120

Join us for an engaging and informative 1-hour live symposium at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress, specifically designed for community cardiologists. This accredited symposium will explore the complexities of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), focusing on advanced imaging techniques, novel treatments, and optimizing patient referral pathways. Our experts will discuss the latest advancements in imaging technology and how they can be applied in clinical settings to improve patient outcomes. They will explore the role of myosin inhibitors and other targeted therapies in managing HCM and how to tailor treatment plans according to individual patient needs. Presenters will also share best practices for optimizing referral pathways, ensuring that patients with HCM are referred to the right specialist at the right time for optimal management. Our expert panel will guide you through a case-based approach, with interactive polling questions to enhance learning and engagement.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this session participants will be able to:

Identify obstruction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) through effective imaging strategies, including exercise echocardiography;
Discuss the long-term evidence supporting the use of myosin inhibitors in the management of obstructive HCM; and
Develop strategies to optimize referral pathways for patients with HCM
