Overview:
Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While significant advancements have been made in cardiology, early recognition and accurate assessment of cardiovascular conditions continue to present challenges. Echocardiography plays a critical role in diagnosing and managing a wide spectrum of cardiac disorders, including heart failure, valvular disease, pericardial conditions, and emerging applications in cardio-oncology and artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted imaging. This symposium is designed to address professional practice gaps by providing a comprehensive, case-based, and hands-on approach to echocardiographic assessment. Through expert-led discussions and interactive workshops, participants will enhance their proficiency in two-dimensional, Doppler, and three-dimensional echocardiography; explore emerging imaging modalities such as left atrial strain and AI-assisted interpretation; and refine their skills in standardized imaging protocols. Special focus areas include the recognition and quantification of heart failure, valvular disease assessment, pericardial pathology, and the role of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in clinical decision-making. By the end of this symposium, attendees will be better equipped to integrate echocardiographic findings into patient care, improve diagnostic accuracy, and contribute to advancing cardiovascular imaging practices.
Target Audience:
This activity is intended for physicians, sonographers, advanced practice providers, nurses, pharmacists, residents, fellows, paramedics, emergency medical technicians, and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the echocardiographic assessment and management of cardiovascular disease. Specialties that may benefit from this program include cardiology, internal medicine, anesthesiology, critical care, emergency medicine, neurology, and hospital medicine.
