NMSS and AAN team with Dr. Zamboni to discuss CCSVI: Attend the Website Next Week

In case you hadn't heard, there will be a webcast/forum discussing CCSVI next week. Attend if you can and be sure to submit questions ahead of time.

On April 14, 12 p.m. ET the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) will hold a live 90-minute Web forum for journalists and the general public on the topic of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) and what it could mean to people living with multiple sclerosis. The event will cover what is currently known about CCSVI and what yet needs to be determined in order to establish what its relationship to the MS disease process might be and whether surgical intervention can improve the disease course. The live Web forum will feature the following panel:

• 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

Register now online (12 p.m. ET April 14) and ensure your system will support the live Web forum player. Questions for the panelists can be submitted online in advance of the live Web forum through Facebook or Twitter, or in real time through the live Web forum player. The recorded webcast will be available online after the event for those who are unable to attend.

Thanks!
