Overview of State-of-the-Art Echocardiography

• The 2024 program follows the themes of structural heart disease,
• myocardial and pericardial disease, coronary artery disease, and
• interventional echocardiography. During the course, presentations will
• highlight what echo brings to each theme, help clinicians recognize and
• avoid common errors and pitfalls, and learn how to apply the guidelines in a
• practical manner.
• The faculty consists of recognized leaders in the field of echocardiography
• acclaimed for their teaching abilities. Participants will have the opportunity
• to interact with the faculty one-on-one in the preconference, computerbased Learning Lab, and during the question and answer sessions
