Conference Description:
A one-day learning lab will be held on October 6, 2018.
The Echo Florida course is a comprehensive review of cardiovascular ultrasound in clinical practice. The faculty is composed of experts who will discuss the strengths and limitations of established and emerging technologies and illustrate how these technologies can be used to improve and streamline patient care in a cost-conscious manner.
Course Highlights:
There is the heavy emphasis on case-based learning. -> Topics include:
• Coronary artery disease including stress testing
• Valvular heart disease
• Interventional Imaging
• Heart failure (systolic and diastolic) and cardiomyopathy
• Emerging technologies including contrast, 3D/4D echocardiography, and strain imaging
• Complex congenital heart disease
• Case-based demonstrations on the role of 2D and real-time 3D/4D echocardiography to select, guide, and follow percutaneous structural heart disease interventions such as transcatheter aortic valve replacement and percutaneous mitral valve repair
The faculty is composed of U.S. and international experts who discuss the strengths and limitations of established and emerging technologies and illustrate how these technologies can be used to improve and streamline patient care in a cost-conscious manner.
