Scientists, clinicians, trainees, and CMR technologists
Objectives:
The primary objective of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) Mid-Year workshop entitled, “Using CMR to Individualize the Diagnosis and Treatment of Heart Failure,” is to provide a vital platform for scientists and clinicians to optimize the use of CMR in the treatment of heart failure (HF).
A key aim of this workshop is to facilitate networking and knowledge-sharing among scientists, clinicians, trainees, and CMR technologists facilitating the integration of CMR technology into clinical practice. The workshop’s topics will encompass a wide range of areas relevant to HF, including recent guideline updates, CMR’s role in characterizing HF phenotypes, CMR in cardio-oncology, its complementarity with other imaging and diagnostic tests, fundamentals of image acquisition and analysis, advanced techniques for efficient CMR, artificial intelligence (AI) applications in CMR, risk prediction, racial and ethnic disparities in HF, and insights into the future of CMR for HF diagnosis and patient management.
These topics and educational objectives align closely with the mission of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to provide global leadership in research, training, and education for the prevention and treatment of heart and blood diseases.
Preliminary programme:
Call for Abstracts:
The SCMR invites MRI abstract submissions related to cardiomyopathy and heart failure. The scientific abstract topics may include technical development of MRI sequences and novel applications, basic science work, or clinical research. Additionally, there will be an abstract category for case studies that exemplify the diagnostic power (or limitations) and use of CMR in the management of heart failure.
