Be sure to register and join us for a discussion about these post-viral syndromes on April 15th at 7:30 a.m. Faculty for this webinar are William Valenti, MD, chair of MSSNY Infectious Diseases Committee, and Lorraine Giordano, MD, past chair of MSSNY Emergency Preparedness and Disaster/Terrorism Response Committee.
Educational Objectives:
- Identify the multi-systemic clinical features of Long COVID and distinguish them from other post-viral conditions, such as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Post-Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).
- Examine standardized diagnostic workup options for patients presenting with persistent post-viral symptoms.
- Develop multidisciplinary treatment strategies that prioritize “Pacing” and symptom management over traditional “Graded Exercise Therapy” (GET), specifically for patients exhibiting Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM).
- Analyze current research regarding the underlying mechanisms of post-viral syndromes, including viral persistence, micro clotting, and immune dysregulation, to better inform patient counseling and participation in clinical trials.
