Webinar on Antiphospholipid Syndrome set for Tuesday, September 6

September offers an unusual opportunity to hear the latest on developments in diagnosis and treatment of Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) at a free one-hour

webinar set for Tuesday, September 6, at 8:00 pm EDT (5:00 pm PDT).

The discussion, sponsored by the American Society of Hematology (ASH), will include three presentations:

  • Dr. Mark Crowther (McMaster University) – Diagnosing Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome
  • Dr. Tom Ortel (Duke University) – Anticoagulant (Blood thinner) Management of Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome
  • Dr. Shannon Bates (McMaster University) – Management of Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome in Pregnancy

Moderator will be Dr. Wendy Lim, MD (McMaster University).

The webinar is targeted to physicians but it is open to anyone. I’m planning to attend. I’m especially interested the discussion on Topic #2: Anticoagulation–a particularly vexing topic for APS patients (like me) who’ve already had a stroke.
