Presentations
- Assessing Ventricular Function in Cardiomyopathy Diagnosis
- Beyond Imaging: Diagnostic Tools for Cardiomyopathy
- Precision Diagnosis: The Role of Phenotyping in Cardiomyopathy
Radcliffe Cardiology was proud to host New Horizons in Cardiomyopathy 2025 (NHC), specially focused on cardiac amyloidosis and cardiomyopathy diagnosis and treatment.
Day 1 focused on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), with a detailed exploration of HCM and an emphasis on emerging therapies and management strategies. Day 2 focused 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, US), Prof Perry Elliott (University College London, UK), and Prof Marianna Fontana (University College London, UK), led a distinguished group of faculty members who are renowned experts in the field of cardiac amyloidosis and HCM.
NHC was designed 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.
*Please note, the live version of New Horizons in Cardiomyopathy was accredited. The on-demand version is not.

Part 3
Day 1: Session 3 – The Management of Cardiomyopathy
This session highlights the critical role of risk stratification and prognostic assessment in the management of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The discussion also delves into the management strategies tailored to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients through a case study approach.
Part 4
Day 2: Session 1 – Amyloidosis Specific Diagnosis
This session covers amyloidosis diagnosis, featuring a case study on key clinical clues. It explores scintigraphy challenges and CMR imaging's role in cardiac amyloidosis.
Part 5
Day 2: Session 2 – Implementation in Practice
The faculty dive into a complex case, examining the challenges of both diagnosing and managing a patient, providing valuable insights into navigating such multifaceted scenarios.
Part 6
Day 2: Session 3 – Phenotyping Management Strategies
This session focuses on phenotyping management strategies for amyloidosis. The faculty discuss collaborating with haematologists to address cardiac complexities and complications that arise during chemotherapy.
Part 7
Day 2: Session 4 – The Treatment Horizon
In the final session of the event, faculty provide an overview of recently completed and on-going trials.
