Abstract

Takayasu’s arteritis is a rare but potentially life-threatening disorder which may present for the first time in pregnancy. Although the cause is unknown, a link with infection has been suggested. Basic clinical examination skills with particular attention to cardiovascular assessment may help to diagnose this condition at an earlier stage and thus improve prognosis.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
