The amyloidosis fellowship will be led by Sabahat Bokhari, MD, director of the Cardiac Amyloidosis and Cardiomyopathy Center at RWJUH and RWJMS, according to a Dec. 17 news release from Rutgers University. 

Amyloidosis is “significantly underdiagnosed,” and without proper care patients may have six months to less than five years to live. The Amyloidosis and Cardiomyopathy Center has treated more than 600 patients with the condition since 2022, the release said. 

Dr. Bokhari is credited with pioneering a widely used, noninvasive imaging method for the evaluation of cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
