3rd Annual Echo ASE ASEAN Conference is organized by American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) and will be held during Mar 22 - 24, 2018 at Conrad Manila, Pasay City, Metro Manila, Philippines.
The target audience for this medical event is adult cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, cardiovascular anesthesiologists, fellows in training, cardiovascular sonographers, internists and intensive care specialists with special interest in clinical cardiology and echocardiography. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 20.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Course Overview :
The aim of Echo ASE ASEAN is to provide cardiovascular practitioners with information on state-of-the-art echocardiographic technology. This international meeting is led by expert faculty from the United States and the countries comprising the ASEAN region and beyond who are leaders in how echocardiography, and other forms of cardiac imaging, can be effectively applied to improve clinical care. The faculty will focus on the latest cardiovascular ultrasound technologies. Case-based learning approaches will be used to highlight new and established uses of echocardiography for diagnosis and guiding management in patients with a broad array of cardiovascular conditions.
Topics include: advanced assessment of systolic and diastolic function, 3D/4D imaging, contemporary approaches to valve disease, guidance of interventional procedures, contrast echocardiography, congenital heart disease, ischemic heart disease, pericardial disease, and echo in arrhythmic disorders.
Learning Objectives :
Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:
• Integrate echocardiographic information in clinical decision-making for patients with a broad array of cardiovascular disease.
• Explain advances in echocardiographic assessment ventricular function and dysfunction.
• Quantitatively assess valve disease and understand the role of echo in valve disease management.
• Comprehensively describe echocardiographic measures of diastolic function and their pitfalls.
• Effectively apply echocardiography in the assessment of patients with ischemic heart disease.
• Identify the role of echocardiography in the guiding interventional procedures and in the perioperative setting.
• Integrate echocardiographic assessment of cardiomyopathies and systemic diseases in patient management.
• Define clinical uses of 3D and strain echocardiography.
• Recognize common manifestations of repaired and unrepaired adult congenital heart disease.
• Explain the key role echo plays in the evaluation of patients with arrhythmias, pericardial disease, and cardiac masses.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
