Join us for upcoming Amyloidosis events:

Updates in Amyloidosis

The Institute for Future Health (IFH), Updates in Amyloidosis steering committee is led by Sandesh Dev, MD, Arizona State University, strive to advance the understanding and management of amyloidosis. The committee brings together leading Valley experts in cardiology and amyloidosis, a primary rapidly emerging topic that interconnects several medical specialists from cardiovascular and neurologic conditions, to renal and pulmonary complications, creating a multi-organ involvement if left undiagnosed/or not properly treated. There is a huge gap of unmet needs for patients with this condition, and all health professionals, especially those in cardiology, neurology, hematology, imaging, and primary care are all areas of current focal points of our discussions.

    The virtual and in-person meeting brought together leading Valley experts in cardiology and primary care for an in-depth discussion on the challenge of proactive screening and detection of cardiac amyloidosis. The debate centered around the question: 
    All Elderly (65+) Heart Failure Patients SHOULD/SHOULD NOT be Screened for Cardiac Amyloidosis
    This event was sponsored by a grant from Arizona Biomedical Research Consortium.
  • Updates in Cardiac Amyloidosis 2023 – Health Futures Center – Saturday, 14 January 2023
    Health Futures Center 
    The Institute for Future Health hosted a hybrid (in-person and Livestream) conference focused on building the
    knowledge of cardiac amyloidosis amongst Arizona clinicians. This event was exclusively dedicated to cardiac amyloidosis a disease of protein misfolding that leads to congestive heart disease, disabling neuropathy, and other systemic conditions. Cardiac Amyoidosis can be caused by transthyretin or light-chain amyloidosis. the pace of knowledge in this field is greatly accelerating, and it is important for clinicians and scientists
