Course Description
This course is designed to increase awareness of the primary and
secondary effects of neuromuscular disease on cardiopulmonary
function and to increase the skill of primary-care physicians and
specialists who manage the cardiopulmonary needs of patients
with neuromuscular disease. The information presented also will

patients with ventilatory insufficiency due to other orthopaedic or
central nervous system disorders. The course will present current
and accepted protocols, current research and new horizons in
patient care.
Course Objectives
After completing this course, participants should be able to:

primary and secondary cardiopulmonary effects
• Identify cardiac pathophysiology and management of cardiac
abnormalities in neuromuscular disease
• Identify pulmonary pathophysiology and management of
ventilatory failure in neuromuscular disease
• Understand current concepts in cell-based treatment of
cardiomyopathy
