Spotting Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy in Children: From Subtle Clues to Definitive Diagnosis
Wednesday, August 6 at 7:00 am PT | 10:00 am ET
Description
We hope that this webinar raises awareness, enhances diagnostic confidence, and promotes early intervention that saves lives in young people from sudden cardiac arrest or death due to undetected Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy.
Learning Objectives: By the end of this educational activity, participants will be able to:
Recognize Clinical Presentation
Describe the key signs, symptoms, and diagnostic findings in pediatric patients with ACM, including subtle early indicators and characteristic features on ECG, imaging, and Holter monitoring
Demonstrate Knowledge of Genetic Etiology and Screening
Demonstrate knowledge of the genetic causes of ACM in children, identify appropriate indications for genetic testing, and apply principles of cascade screening in affected families.
Implement Evidence-Based Management
Articulate current treatment strategies for children diagnosed with ACM, including pharmacologic therapy, exercise restrictions/modifications, ICD implantation, and the role of family-based risk stratification.
Accreditation
