Events

Rare Disease Week attracts hundreds of patient advocates from around the country to Washington, DC for a week of events dedicated to empowering them to become legislative advocates. Advocates will have an opportunity to meet with Members of Congress and learn best practices for successful advocacy.

This biennial event is for physicians and researchers and attracts specialists in amyloidosis from around the world. This meeting provides a unique opportunity to learn about the latest advancements, stay current on research, and network with other clinicians in the field of amyloidosis.

As part of an ongoing effort to expand awareness of cardiac amyloidosis, the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology will deliver a series of training workshops in cities across the U.S. On March 21, the On the Road series will convene in Hollywood, FL, to showcase a case-based program directed by David Wolinsky, MD, Cleveland Clinic.

With more and more patients being diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis, sessions and posters covering new data on amyloidosis and heart failure will be hot topics. Session highlights include: "Unfolding the Mysteries of Cardiac Amyloidosis: An Interactive Case-Based Discussion," and "Cardiac Amyloidosis: From Imaging to Treatment."
