## Overview
Master the complexities of Cardiac Amyloidosis – from the underlying pathophysiology of hATTR and wtATTR to identifying the systemic 'red flags' often missed in routine exams. This course provides a deep dive into multimodality imaging, helping you differentiate myocardial infiltration from hypertrophy. Sharpen your diagnostic capacities, explore the latest targeted therapies, and gain the clinical confidence to improve outcomes of patients with this often-missed disease.

## Learning Objectives
- Identify the different types of cardiac amyloidosis—including AL, wild-type ATTR, and hereditary ATTR (hATTR)—and understand their distinct mechanisms, epidemiology, and clinical implications.
- Recognize the systemic and cardiac red flags that should raise suspicion for amyloid heart disease and prompt timely diagnostic workup in everyday clinical practice.
- Master the key echocardiographic features of cardiac amyloidosis on 2D and Doppler imaging, and confidently differentiate infiltrative disease from other causes of left ventricular hypertrophy.
- Apply a structured diagnostic algorithm to confirm cardiac amyloidosis efficiently and navigate complex scenarios such as the overlap between aortic stenosis and amyloid cardiomyopathy.
- Manage heart failure in patients with amyloid cardiomyopathy and select appropriate targeted therapies, while staying informed about emerging treatments shaping the future of care.

## Curriculum

### Foundations and Disease Types
Build a solid foundation in cardiac amyloidosis. Understand what amyloid is, how it infiltrates and damages the heart, and learn to classify the major disease types – AL, serum, hereditary ATTR (hATTR), and wild-type ATTR. Explore the epidemiology and true prevalence of amyloid heart disease.
