- Advanced Treatment Strategies for AL Amyloidosis: Device Therapy and Transplant Options
- Treatment Options for Advanced Cardiomyopathy and Frail Patients: Do They Differ?
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.
