Miniseries Description
Despite its rarity, hereditary angioedema has a profound impact on the lives of many patients. As healthcare providers, the ability to recognize and diagnose HAE early, especially in pediatric patients, can make all the difference in improving patient outcomes and quality of life. However, the challenges of diagnosing HAE, particularly in minority and rural populations, remain significant. The goal of this podcast miniseries, Pediatric Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) Diagnosis & Management: Challenges, Barriers, Strategies, is to explore how we can overcome barriers, from early recognition in childhood to managing long-term care and understanding the genetic and acquired forms of this disease.

Accreditation
The American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
