Program Description:
Join pediatric neurologist Dr. Aravindhan Veerapandiyan (Dr. Panda) from the Arkansas Children’s Hospital for an overview of best practices in the management of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Through this presentation, viewers can gain a greater understanding of DMD pathophysiology, identify key signs suggestive of a diagnosis, and describe the benefits and limitations associated with the current standard of care. In the second half of this presentation, Dr. Veerapandiyan examines emerging therapeutic strategies poised to transform the management of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which in recent years has transformed from a uniformly fatal pediatric disease into a more manageable, chronic condition. Interspersed throughout this video is the perspective of Amanda – a mother and caregiver of a child who lives with DMD. With this added voice, viewers can better appreciate the challenges faced by children with DMD and the need for coordinated, multidisciplinary care to optimize patient outcomes.
