The Senate accepted our requests, starting the drafting of guidelines on driving licenses
This month in AICARM NEWS:
The Senate of the Republic has approved an agenda to rapidly draw up national guidelines "concerning the issuing and/or renewal of driving licenses in the presence of patients with cardiomyopathies who have had a pacemaker implanted and /or an implantable defibrillator (ICD)”
The course on the treatment of Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, sponsored by AICARM, saw the participation of the best Italian specialists. HCM surgery has made significant strides towards minimally invasive techniques, which reduces trauma and allows patients to quickly return to their daily lives. Clear information becomes important to encourage acceptance of the intervention. The establishment of a register of innovative therapies has been announced.
Finally we publish an interview with the actress Giorgia Fiori, the new face of AICARM which is also the testimony of a battle won.
The reasons for science and the rights of patients
The calls to the "Hearts in listening" service highlight the via crucis that patients have to face before the special driving license commission. Valerio Pelini, Vice President of AICARM, talks about his experience. The sentence is always the same, taken on the basis of inadequate guidelines: renewal for one year. The Senate's agenda paves the way towards national guidelines, which provide for a different evaluation of different situations.
Innovative surgical therapies for all patients
