  • Overview

    Struggling to manage ATTR-CM? Our faculty are exploring the key considerations shaping current clinical trial design and how innovations might change our approach to the management of ATTR-CM in the future. They'll also discuss the use of outpatient diuretic intensification as a potential endpoint in trials and the ongoing challenge of defining and measuring “clinically meaningful benefit” for patients with ATTR-CM. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and elevate your understanding of ATTR-CM treatment strategies!
