Urgent and Actionable Arrhythmias: When and When Not to Worry
Hyatt Regency McCormick Place, Regency Ballroom A
1:30 – 5 p.m.
In the world of arrhythmias, what appears to be a straightforward case can, at times, conceal a life-threatening condition. This symposium covers the nuanced approach required to differentiate between benign and malignant arrhythmias. Using real-world clinical scenarios, this symposium will explore common arrhythmias that can be deceptively similar but necessitate very different responses. Through expert-led discussions and case-based learning, attendees will enhance their ability to discern when to act urgently and when to reassure patients for the best clinical outcomes. Reserve your spot.

4501. Achieving Next-Level HCM Care and Outcomes With Cardiac Myosin Inhibition: Looking From Long-Term Clinical Evidence to Real-World Data
Hyatt Regency McCormick Place, Regency Ballroom AB (Second Floor)
6:15 – 7:45 a.m.
Sponsored by Bristol Myers Squibb

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) affects as many as 1 in 200 individuals, with obstructive HCM (oHCM) having been managed historically with therapies directed at symptoms, as well as by invasive procedures used for more severe forms of this progressive disease. Cardiac myosin inhibitors (CMIs), which target the underlying pathophysiology of HCM, have emerged in recent years, improving symptomatic and functional outcomes, reshaping the treatment algorithm, and reducing reliance on surgical interventions. Join us for this expert-led MasterClass & Case Forum to level up your HCM expertise bolstered by accumulating long-term data and real-world experience with innovative approaches to HCM diagnosis and treatment. Learn more and register.
