Columbia Cardiac Amyloid Review & Practicum: Pyrophosphate Cardiac Imaging 2018

Columbia Cardiac Amyloid Review & Practicum: Pyrophosphate Cardiac Imaging 2018 is a seminar dedicated to nuclear scintigraphic techniques for the non-invasive diagnosis of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (TTR-CA).

Topics

• Evaluation and management of patients with various forms of cardiac amyloidosis with a focus on distinguishing light chain amyloid from transthyretin given their differences with regard to affected patient populations, natural histories, therapies and genetics
• Patient populations who are appropriate candidates for test administrations
• Practical scan interpretation with a focus on major pitfalls to avoid in test performance and interpretation
• Imaging procedure along with methods for scan interpretation including both semi-quantitative and quantitative scoring techniques as well as appropriate reporting of results
