OVERVIEW

Valve Imaging Summit is a premier echocardiography course, uniting the heart team – interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, cardiac imagers, echocardiographers, PAs, nurses and more.

Join us for an in-depth, case-based learning on established and emerging cardiovascular ultrasound technologies along with comprehensive lectures and keynote presentations. The program is structured to allow attendees to closely interact on a personal level with internationally recognized leaders in echocardiography, including special sessions on clinical dilemmas and technology-based workshops.

BY ATTENDING, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:

• Evaluate and integrate anatomic and echocardiographic findings to guide a tailored, patient-specific management strategy for mitral regurgitation, including transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR), and surgical repair approaches for primary and secondary mitral valve disease.
• Evaluate the most recent innovations in atrial fibrillation and left atrial appendage.
• Apply updated imaging guideline criteria to inform decision-making for structural valve interventions, medical therapies, and surgical valve repair or replacement.
• Discuss recent advancements in diastology and the role of left atrial (LA) strain in diagnosis, including artificial intelligence.
• Describe advances in cardio-oncology, recurrent pericarditis, constrictive pericarditis, cardiac amyloidosis, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
• Assess emerging approaches to sarcoid heart disease, atrial septal defects (ASDs), mechanical support for heart failure, and ultrasound contrast agents in routine practice.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: 

The course is designed for cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, cardiovascular anesthesiologists, residents and fellows, cardiac sonographers, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and anyone with special interest in clinical cardiology and echocardiography.
