About this event

  • Date and time Thu 20 Apr 2023 from 9:00am to 5:00pm
  • Location Royal Society of Medicine
  • Organised by Cardiology

Join this general day designed to introduce core cardiology trainees to inherited cardiac conditions. We will cover key curriculum topics and provide an overview of other areas not often covered elsewhere such as genetics and training in ICC. 

Participants will be able:

  • To develop a framework for assessing a patient with suspected ICC: making the diagnosis (including the role of imaging and advanced electrophysiology), risk stratification, family screening 
  • To understand genetic concepts likely to be encountered in managing patients with ICC 
  • To be able to draw a family pedigree, understand how to interpret a genetic testing report, and understand the role of a genetic counsellor in the cardiology clinic 
  • Gain an overview of cardiomyopathies likely to be encountered in clinical practice and how to apply the assessment framework 

This event is available to attend in person or virtually. Please select your preference below.
