PRE-CONGRESS DAY | WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 2023
The advent of using ultrasonography in the field of rheumatology has changed the course of diagnosing and treating many rheumatological conditions.
The use of ultrasound now in rheumatology is no longer limited to musculoskeletal conditions. As its use to diagnose giant cell arteritis has been a hot topic over the past few years, many rheumatologists now use ultrasonography in diagnosing giant cell arteritis. Because this topic has been gaining the attraction of many rheumatologists over the past few years and many of us aim at increasing their experience at performing this type of vascular ultrasound, this joint workshop was for that reason organized.
This workshop aims at educating rheumatologists and healthcare professionals of interest on the use of fast track pathways, probability testing and ultrasonography in the diagnosis of GCA.
Latest updates in the management of GCA will also be covered
Fast track clinics, how these were developed, the impact of early diagnosis of large vessels vasculitis on patient outcomes.
GCA probability score, how to categorize patients into low intermediate and high probability categories
Role of vascular ultrasound with a Probability based score.
