Global Advances in Echocardiography
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. Worth 17 AMA PRA Category I Credits™, which meets Echocardiography Lab CME requirements.
