Echocardiography and Structural Heart Symposium, 42nd Annual

September 26, 2025 to September 27, 2025
 

Live, In-Person Symposium | 14.5 Cat. 1
Friday-Saturday, September 26-27, 2025
Loews Coral Gables Hotel, Coral Gables, Florida

Welcome to the 42nd Annual Echocardiography and Structural Heart Symposium.

As valvular heart disease and structural heart treatments become increasingly integral within cardiology, our symposium focuses on building the fundamental tools of echocardiography. Tailored to both beginner and advanced skills, each section is constructed from the ground up, ensuring a comprehensive understanding from the perspective of the sonographer scanning the patient to the reader, be it a cardiologist or medical professional, taking care of the patient.

What to Expect

  • Core Echocardiography Principles: Our agenda spans core echocardiography principles, encompassing cardiac structure, function and hemodynamics assessment, aligned with current guidelines.
  • Cutting-Edge Discussions: Internationally renowned faculty will lead discussions on the latest technologies and future directions in structural heart disease assessment and treatment.
  • Advanced Imaging Techniques and Treatment Approaches: Topics will range from advanced echocardiography imaging techniques like 3-D, Strain, CT, and TEE to innovative valve repair approaches such as TAVR, TEER, and more.
  • Special Focus Areas: A spotlight will shine on the treatment of aortic, mitral and tricuspid valves, as well as interatrial septum valvular heart disease, tailored to specific patient populations, including those with cancer, atrial fibrillation and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
  • Controversies and Debates: Controversies surrounding diagnostic and treatment approaches will also be addressed.

Who Should Attend

This year's symposium extends a special invitation to cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, critical care physicians, ED physicians, sonographers, sonography students, anesthesiologists and medical professionals deeply invested in echocardiography and the latest advancements in structural heart disease diagnosis and treatment.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this symposium, participants should be better able to:

  • Enhance understanding and communication: Gain insight into valve disease fundamentals from the sonographer's perspective, fostering improved collaboration with reading cardiologists in echocardiography.
  • Utilize a multidisciplinary approach: Learn to diagnose and treat structural heart disease through collaboration within a structural heart team.
  • Develop proficiency in advanced imaging: Discern complex echocardiographic presentations and effectively apply advanced imaging techniques in both normal and abnormal cardiac conditions, including valvular heart disease and other pathologies.
  • Demonstrate the utility of multimodality imaging: Showcase the use of multimodality imaging in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and the evaluation of left atrial appendage and valvular heart disease.
  • Apply comprehensive management: Assess and manage aortic, mitral and tricuspid valve pathologies, as well as interatrial septum issues, utilizing basic and advanced imaging techniques to guide treatment effectively.
  • Utilize evidence-based data for optimization: Apply current evidence-based clinical data in optimizing treatment strategies for various structural heart interventions, including TAVR, TMVR, TEER, LAA occluder devices, paravalvular leaks and EtOH septal ablation.
  • Demonstrate procedural guidance: Exhibit proficiency in managing structural heart procedures using transesophageal and 3-D imaging techniques in the cardiac catheterization lab.
  • Define tricuspid valve anatomy and implications: Further define tricuspid valve anatomy and its implications for transcatheter therapy in treating tricuspid regurgitation.
