OVERVIEW

Hear why past participants recommend the Valve Imaging Summit:

• “They are the ‘best of the best.’  Thoroughly enjoyed learning from faculty.”
• “Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and approachable faculty.”
• “Data provided and techniques learned were very impressive and will improve my practice standards.”
• “I am new to structural heart/valve disease.  This summit significantly increased my knowledge and understanding of mitral, aortic, and tricuspid diseases, and treatments available.”
• “This summit allows me to more effectively diagnose valvular disorders and discuss treatment options with patients, their families, and health care team members.”
• “As a cardiac sonographer, this workshop emphasizes the importance of the quality of my images and work.”
• “Learned how to better interpret images and data, which strengthens my ability to discuss with peers.”

By Attending, You Will Be Able To:

• Evaluate and integrate anatomic and multimodality imaging 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.
• Discuss role of innovations in TAVR and SAVR in aortic stenosis.
• Evaluate and integrate anatomic and multimodality imaging findings to guide a tailored, patient-specific management strategy for tricuspid regurgitation, including transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR), and surgical repair approaches for primary and secondary tricuspid valve disease.
• Review recent advancements in HFpEF and new diastology guidelines.
• Describe advances in cardio-oncology, recurrent pericarditis, radiation heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, cardiac amyloidosis, sarcoid and constrictive pericarditis.
• Assess emerging approaches to artificial intelligence in echo and prediction of disease.
• Collaborate across the interprofessional heart team to integrate clinical, anatomic, and multimodality imaging findings and develop coordinated, patient-specific treatment strategies for valve disease.

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.
