About this event

  • Organised by Medicine and Me

Attend this webinar to understand how to accurately recognise symptoms of myocarditis in patients - especially those who repeatedly visit - whilst remaining aware of similarities with other conditions. We will look at key areas of diagnosis and treatment for myocarditis, including what advice to share with patients regarding exercising with the condition. 

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen an increase in patients with myocarditis. In this webinar, we will explore this trend in more depth with a detailed talk by Leslie Cooper on COVID-19, the heart and the implications of vaccines.   

Our event will seek to improve relationships between patients and healthcare professionals, with a view to making testing and diagnosis a more streamlined process.

Aims of the webinar include:

  • For healthcare professionals to be able to identify the symptoms of myocarditis, understand the steps involved in making a diagnosis and provide the correct advice   
  • For patients to be aware of key aspects of myocarditis they should raise to healthcare professionals and understand the testing process
  • To increase awareness of myocarditis  
  • To explain the impact of COVID on the heart post-pandemic 

 

We would like to thank our anonymous donor for their generous support enabling this platform for patient focused charities and free access to the Medicine and Me series.

This webinar is available for on-demand viewing. The webinar recording will be available for registered delegates up to 60 days after the live webinar broadcast via Zoom. The link will be sent 3 days after the webinar takes place.
