FAIRFAX, Va., July 30, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Harvey V. Fineberg, MD, PhD, chair of the National Academies' Standing Committee on Emerging Infectious Diseases and 21st Century Health Threats, will present "Public Policy Decision-making During the COVID-19 Pandemic" during a special session at the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology 2020 Virtual Scientific Session.

ASNC2020 will include more than 40 sessions delivered in a variety of formats between Sept. 9 and Oct. 7. The ASNC2020 virtual live program will convene Sept. 25-26.

“ASNC has made a concerted effort to assemble the latest recommendations to help the nuclear cardiology community address the challenges of providing patient care in these unprecedented circumstances,” says Sharmila Dorbala, MD, ASNC president. “ASNC2020 will provide a forum to engage attendees.”

Dr. Fineberg coauthored, The Epidemic That Never Was: Policy-Making and the Swine Flu Scare. He is president of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and board chair of the Science Philanthropy Alliance. He previously served as president of the Institute of Medicine, provost of Harvard University, and Dean of the Harvard Chan School of Public Health.

Dr. Fineberg will deliver his keynote during the ASNC2020 session "COVID-19: Public Policy Update and Best Practices for Nuclear Cardiology" on Saturday, Sept. 26, at 10:30 AM (ET). This session is among several at ASNC2020 addressing cardiovascular care during the COVID-19 public health emergency.

"Quality patient care has always been the first and foremost priority for ASNC members," says Sharmila Dorbala, MD, MPH, FASNC, ASNC president and director of nuclear cardiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "Since the onset of the pandemic, ASNC has made a concerted effort to assemble the latest information and recommendations to help the nuclear cardiology community address the challenges of providing patient care in these unprecedented circumstances. ASNC2020 will provide a forum to share this information and engage in thoughtful discourse with attendees."

ASNC2020 will deliver the latest updates across the fields of nuclear cardiology and molecular imaging with a focus on "Using Technology to Improve Patient Care."

"We have a vision for ASNC2020," says Terrence Ruddy, MD, FASNC, chair of the ASNC2020 Program Committee and director of nuclear cardiology at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. "We'll show you how technology can improve your practice. Nuclear Cardiology and PET are digital technologies. If we were standardized a bit more and aware of all the available technology, we could do much more."

Dr. Ruddy and Co-chair Piotr Slomka, PhD, of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have assembled a robust program that delivers on this theme highlighted by these sessions:
