Join us for a comprehensive overview of valve disease, structural interventions and imaging. Learn about the latest state-of-the-art technology and hear from top experts in the field as they discuss advanced imaging including strain and 3-D, pericardial diseases, amyloid and HCM as well as artificial intelligence.

The summit will include case-based discussions, controversies on topics in valve disease, didactic presentations, and hands-on demonstrations and strain imaging workshops along with presentations of unique and complex cases.

By Attending, You Will Be Able To:

• Apply multimodality imaging, including echo, CT, and MRI, to assess the severity and hemodynamic impact of valvular heart disease and identify recent advancements in CT and MRI technology and their implications for mitral valve assessment in 2025.
• Evaluate the most recent innovations in surgical approaches, including artificial intelligence, for diseases of the mitral valve, aortic valve, tricuspid valve, 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.
• 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; cardiothoracic surgeons; cardiovascular anesthesiologists; residents and fellows; cardiac sonographers, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and anyone with special interest in clinical cardiology and echocardiography.
