ForwardAmerican Autonomic Society 2024 Annual Meeting (JS2411C)
Each year the American Autonomic Society (AAS) brings together a diverse group of physicians, advanced practitioners, nurses, researchers and other allied healthcare professionals who are interested in the autonomic nervous system. It offers a valuable opportunity to present new research ideas, share insights and network through didactic lecture, panel case discussions, and interactive Q&A. Evaluation and treatment of patients with autonomic dysfunction disorders is variable because clinicians are not adequately trained in currently existing approaches to the diagnosis and management of these disorders. In addition, because the field is evolving, there are many presentations of these disorders that are not covered by evidence-based approaches. The 2024 meeting will be held in-person in Santa Barbara California (with some content available virtually).
Target Audience
This program is specifically designed for Primary Care providers, Neurologists, Nurses, Advanced Practitioners, and Researchers that desire to gain advanced knowledge in diagnosis and management of patients with autonomic dysfunction disorders.
Learning Objectives
- Discuss the Bezold-Jarisch reflex and its potential role in the pathophysiology of syncope and cardiovascular control
- Discuss the development of microneurography and its role in the study of autonomic disorders
- Recognize recent research breakthroughs and historical contributions of leading researchers that have advanced diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols for patients with autonomic disorders.
- Describe underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, appropriate diagnostic and treatment strategies for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) as well as differences in pediatric POTS compared to adults
- Discuss the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and the appropriate diagnostic and treatment strategies in multiple system atrophy
- Discuss the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnostic approach and management of autonomic failure and neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (OH)
- Recognize the availability and function of devices for monitoring and treatment of autonomic conditions
