Navigate the diagnostic and therapeutic landscape of autoimmune disorders and cardiomyopathy with Dr Heba Wassif

This presentation, part of the comprehensive Cardiomyopathies track, explores the critical intersection between immune-mediated inflammatory disorders and cardiovascular disease.

Dr Wassif examines the spectrum and epidemiology of immune-mediated inflammatory disorders, emphasizing their cardiovascular manifestations and heart failure risk. Drawing from recent expert consensus documents and European guidelines, the presentation provides evidence-based approaches to multimodal therapy including guideline-directed medical therapy, aggressive immunosuppression with calcineurin inhibitors, and anticoagulation strategies. The presentation emphasizes cardiac MRI's critical role not only in parametric diagnosis but also in prognostic stratification, with registry data demonstrating clear survival differences based on edema and late gadolinium enhancement patterns at six-month follow-up.
