This policy debate seeks to inform the public conversation on the importance of promoting early diagnosis of cardiomyopathies. To that end, Cardiomyopathies Matter brought together experts and patients with a Member of the European Parliament to reflect on actions needed to improve patients’ pathways, foster early diagnosis of cardiomyopathy, reflect on best practices, and ensure that policy action is taken at the European level for it to cascade down into the national level.
Participants in this debate include:
Prof. Dr. Stefan Janssens, Head Cardiovascular Disease Dept, University Hospitals (UZ) Leuven, Belgium
Tomislav Sokol, Member of the European Parliament, European People’s Party, Croatia
Dr. Chiara Bucciarelli-Ducci, Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals, Guys’ and St Thomas’ NHS Trust
Ester Costafreda, Co-founder, Spanish organisation for arrhythmias associated with sudden death (SAMS), Spain
