Release date: September 5, 2025
Global Advances in Echocardiography is a first of its kind collaboration between United States and European based experts to discuss the latest in cardiac imaging. Critical interventions such as transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), transcatheter edge-to-edge repair and valve replacement procedures are dependent of echocardiography for diagnosis, indications, monitoring and guidance. This development has transformed the role of imagers around the world, creating a specific need for training and specialized utilization of echocardiography techniques. The internationally acclaimed Zurich Heart House-London Heart House combines with American thought leaders to provide a wide range of perspectives regarding optimal practices and procedures for all who utilize this critical imaging tool.
Topics include: Valvular heart disease, transcatheter valve procedures, stress echocardiography, mitral valve stenosis and regurgitation, TEER, transventricular neochordal implantation, prosthetic valve assessment, atrial septal defects, patent foramen ovale, left atrial appendage, aortic stenosis and regurgitation, infective endocarditis, aortic dissection, imaging for acute mechanical circulatory support and much more.
