You are invited to this month's Research Update Webinar. Please join us as Dr.Seward Rutkove, M.D discusses Electrical Impedence Myography (EIM) as a Biomarker for ALS.

Dr. Seward Rutkove’s biomarker, a method called electrical impedance myography (EIM), sensitively measures the flow of a tiny, painless, electrical current through muscle tissue.  As the disease progresses, ALS patients’ muscles atrophy, and the more their muscles weaken and shrink, the greater the change detected as the current moves through it.  By comparing the size and speed of electrical the current as it passes through healthy and diseased tissue, EIM can accurately measure the progression of the disease.

These Webinars are designed to provide an opportunity for you and your family to listen and speak directly to those working on your behalf at The ALS Association and partnering labs. Every webinar will be recorded, however we encourage you to participate the day of the call to take full advantage of the interaction.

The webinar will last on average of an hour.  Questions can be entered online in a chat box and will  be answered during the Q & A portion of the call.  Once you RSVP for the Webinar, you will immediately receive the call information. We encourage you to RSVP at your earliest convenience. Thank you and we look forward to your participation.
