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!

Learning Objectives
After participating in this educational activity, participants should be better able to:
- Explain the rationale for the design of recent clinical trials, considering the key findings and limitations of the previous trials in the management of amyloid transthyretin cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM)
- Analyze the role of diuretic use as an endpoint in ATTR-CM clinical trials, drawing on evidence from recent studies
- Develop a framework for defining clinically meaningful benefit in ATTR-CM, considering functional capacity, symptom improvement, patient-reported outcomes, and disease progression
Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of cardiologists and primary care physicians.
