National MS Society presents a CCSVI webcast this Wednesday (4/14)

This Wednesday, April 14, from 12 to 1:30 pm Eastern time, the National MS Society will be hosting a webcast on the topic of CCSVI at the American Academy of Neurology meeting. A panel of experts on this topic will be presenting information and answering questions:

  • Dr. Paolo Zamboni, Director, Vascular Diseases Center, University of Ferrara, Italy
  • Dr. Robert Zivadinov, Associate Professor of Neurology at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York
  • Dr. Andrew Common, Radiologist in Chief at St. Michaels Hospital, University of Toronto, Ontario, CA
  • Dr. Aaron Miller, Professor of Neurology and Director of the MS Center at Mount Sinai, New York, member of the AAN Board of Directors, Chief Medical Officer of the National MS Society

Click here to register in advance for the webcast and make sure your computer is compatible with the webcast system. If you're interested in submitting questions ahead of time to the panelists, you can do so on Facebook or Twitter, or you can send in questions during the session via the webcast site. Click here for more information about submitting questions. By the way, it looks like submitting questions in advance can only be done on Monday 4/12 between 10 am and 2 pm Eastern.

The webcast will be archived, so if you can't watch it live, you'll still be able to see it later.

I will be attending the AAN meeting in person, so I'll do my best to bring back information from other presentations on CCSVI -- as well as new findings on other topics such as the causes of MS, disease mechanisms, treatments, epidemiology, imaging, etc.
