Hereditary angioedema (HAE), a rare genetic disorder characterized by debilitating attacks of severe swelling, is dangerous and highly disruptive to the daily lives of those affected. Through early identification and application of prophylactic treatments, patients can achieve more attack-free days.
Tune in to this insightful presentation to hear expert guidance on accurate diagnosis, the evolving therapeutic landscape, and individualized management plans for patients with HAE. Following the activity, download a guide covering the latest diagnostic and treatment strategies for point-of-care reference.
This activity is delivered in partnership with the Allergy & Asthma Network.
Learning Objectives
- Apply guideline-directed diagnostic screening and genetic testing for hereditary angioedema (HAE) across pediatric and adult populations to facilitate prompt diagnosis
- Describe the clinical presentation of HAE and triggers for attacks with a focus on disease differentiation
- Develop individualized management plans that integrate patient- and disease-specific factors into personalized treatment decisions
- Differentiate current and emerging treatments based on the latest clinical safety and efficacy data, mechanism of action, indication, and route and frequency of administration
- Implement strategies for interprofessional collaboration throughout the continuum of care for HAE
