The management of hATTR amyloidosis requires a multidisciplinary approach and neurologists have an important role in ensuring that their patients with hATTR amyloidosis-PN are managed optimally. Join our speakers for an interactive case-based presentation where you are the hero of your own story. Through interactive polling questions, you will decide the outcome of the case and learn about the diagnosis, disease progression and multidisciplinary management of hATTR amyloidosis.

This program was developed by the CNSF and Alnylam and was planned to achieve scientific integrity, objectivity and balance. It is an unaccredited learning activity and not eligible for MOC credits.

Learning Objectives:

Assess disease progression, follow-ups, and pharmacological management through a case-based scenario
Discuss the benefits of a multidisciplinary team approach for hATTR amyloidosis to optimize patient care
Understand the importance of tailoring the treatment approach based on the disease phenotype
Consider the patient perspective and experience living with hATTR amyloidosis
