Overview
Live from ESC 2023 in Amsterdam, this broadcast will bring together the chairpersons of the latest ESC Guidelines on Cardiomyopathy, released on Sunday 27 August 2023.
Prof Elena Arbelo (Hospital Clinic, Barcelona, ES) and Prof Juan Pablo Kaski (University College London, UK) will provide definitive commentary on the guideline updates – including what's new in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), what are the treatment recommendations for obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM), and how the new guidelines affect the current management paradigm.
The broadcast is curated to focus on the implications for healthcare practitioners. The guideline authors will consider how practices can accommodate novel agents for oHCM, the responsibilities for prescribing therapies and the impact on existing treatment strategies.
Fully interactive, this session is designed to support health practitioners understand the latest guideline recommendations and ensure their effective implementation.
This broadcast will be of particular educational value for Cardiologists, Heart Failure Specialists, Electrophysiologists and Cardiac Surgeons. Additionally, any HCPs who specialise in treating HCM or could be considered as part of the wider care team in the identification and referral to specialist assessment globally will find this of interest.
SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS: Do you have a question on the new guidelines? Do you have a dilemma in HCM and want to know how the latest guidance could impact it? Profs Arbelo and Kaski invite you to submit your questions below, which will be answered live during the broadcast's experts-on-the-spot segment.
