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.

  • 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.
