Are cardiomyopathies rare? – On-Line meeting April 13 at 19.00

ARE CARDIOMYOPATHIES RARE?

In general they are not uncommon, but some forms are. The importance of accurate diagnosis.

Thursday 13 April pm 19.00 we will have guests Prof. Lia Crotti – Director of the Cardiomyopathies Center at San Luca Hospital, Italian Auxological Institute, IRCCS Milan -, Dr. Maurizio Pieroni – Cardiomyopathies clinic at San Donato Hospital, Arezzo – and the President of AICARM Onlus Prof. Franco Cecchi.

Cardiomyopathies were considered rare forms, while today we know that they are more frequent, and are present in about 4-5 per thousand of the general population. However, some forms are rare and must be clearly distinguished because today there are specific therapies that can lead to improvement of symptoms and avoid disease progression.

In this online meeting, the experts will present the general picture of Cardiomyopathies, but will also turn their attention to less widespread forms such as, for example, Fabry's disease or Cardiac Amyloidosis in adults or other forms still in children. The various therapeutic possibilities available today thanks to advances in genetic diagnosis and therapy and in the discovery of new targeted drugs will also be discussed.

Participation in the meeting and discussion is free and open to all.

During the event, participants will be able to ask questions to the experts, even anonymously, and receive all the clarifications. The technological platform used is the Zoom webinar.

Registration is required and you must give consent to the processing of your data in order to be able to send the instructions and the link to be able to participate actively.

We look forward to seeing you online Thursday 13 April pm 19.00.
