Course Description : Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is one of the most challenging diseases encountered in cardiology practice because of the diversity of its expression and its unpredictable clinical course. In the last two decades HCM care has seen the development of highly effective interventions that prevent sudden death, relieve symptoms, and prevent stroke. Parallel to this evolution has been the movement from office care to in-hospital care for interventions. The lecturers at this course are national and international thought leaders in the realm of HCM care. They will discuss latest electrophysiologic, medical, and surgical advances including: indications and judgement for ICD implantation including when an IV-ICD or S-ICD might be chosen, the crucial role of anticoagulation for AFib, and when AF ablation might be indicated. The safety of outpatient initiation of disopyramide will be discussed, as well as the effect of this agent on isolated HCM cardiomyocytes. Trials of the novel agent mavacamten for obstructive and non-obstructive HCM will be discussed. Video of extended myectomy and novel ancillary surgical approaches to the mitral valve will be demonstrated. Current echocardiographic and MRI diagnosis will be covered, as well as TEE planning and monitoring of myectomy. Practical family counseling, non-invasive screening, and genotype analysis will be covered. Pre-participation screening for students and athletes will be discussed. Automatic defibrillator deployment in schools will be highlighted.   Course Objectives : After participating in this activity, clinicians should be able to: • Accurately interpret echocardiographic findings for the appropriate diagnosis of HCM, adequately distinguish and differentiate between major and minor risks for sudden cardiac death in HCM patients, and identify massive thickening on echocardiography or MRI that should prompt consideration of ICD • Recognize when disopyramide should be started for obstruction, and safely initiate disopyramide to outpatients • Apply guideline recommendations and manage co-morbidities adequately • Propose individually tailored recommendations regarding invasive therapy, surgery or ablation for obstructive HCM and adequately explain risks and benefits of each option, and understand how mitral abnormalities skew recommendations towards surgery • Appropriately offer family counseling, non-invasive screening, and genotype analysis for patients and family members of those with HCM • Perform thorough pre–athletic screening history and physical and discuss and describe current AED recommendations Note: After 12 pm on April 24, 2019 only onsite registration is available, provided the course has not reached capacity. Onsite registrants will incur an additional $20 charge. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.

Hair Restoration Training - Hair Loss Therapies course was specifically designed for physicians looking to incorporate these new technologies and combination therapies into their practice. The advancements and newer technologies, injection therapy procedures, and combination drug therapies allow for regrowth of hair without the need in many cases for hair transplants, grafts, or surgery. Men and women are equally affected by hair loss and thinning hair throughout their lifetimes and even though we have been told it is hereditary, hair loss can be corrected or reversed.Hair loss statistics are overwhelming as it affects 40 million males and over 25 million women in the United States. Non-surgical options for hair restoration and hair loss therapies will expand as industry growth will be driven by improving disposable incomes, an aging population through 2025, and an increased emphasis on outward appearance. There is a (4) out of (7) chance in men in receiving the baldness gene and (1) out of (4) women will suffer from lost and thinning hair. So how important is hair to our society?

The popularity of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments among patients for aesthetic purposes has exploded in recent years as patients are now realizing the long-term and permanent benefits of this procedure. With the average treatment cost of $600 - $1,800 per patient depending upon indications aesthetically or medically, it allows for the physician to realize additional cash revenues within their practice with little or no capital expenditure. Empire Medical's Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Training is the perfect complement to other aesthetic injectible procedures (i.e. Botox/Dermal Fillers) and can be easily incorporated into any type of medical or aesthetic practice.PRP therapies allow for the separation of a patient’s blood through a variety of harvesting techniques to extract a concentration of autologous platelets (2.5x – 9.0x). These platelets when activated release adhesive glycoproteins (fibrin, fibronectin, and vitronectin) and various growth factors forming a fibrin mesh under the tissue.
