Dear Doctor
It is a real pleasure to announce the Postgraduate Course in Periprocedural Echocardiography to be held in London, 23rd - 25th of May, conceived by Zurich Heart House – London Heart House and the Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals.
The management of valvular heart disease has gone through a revolution since the introduction of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), and now includes transcatheter edge-to-edge repair of the mitral and, more recently, the tricuspid valve, as well as transcatheter mitral and tricuspid valve replacement procedures. All these interventions are heavily dependent on imaging modalities, both for diagnosis, indications, and periprocedural monitoring and guidance. This is particularly true for edge-to-edge repair of the mitral and tricuspid valves, but also for structural interventions such as the occlusion of paravalvular leaks, and closure of a patent foramen ovale or the left atrial appendage.
This impressive development in structural interventions for patients with valvular heart disease and other structural conditions has transformed imaging, particularly echocardiography. Indeed, such procedures require a new professional profile of specialized imagers with appropriate training and experience.
The 3-day Postgraduate Course in Periprocedural Echocardiography will address this unmet clinical need. It will involve state-of-the art lectures, interactive case presentations, and hands-on features for participants interested in imaging and valvular heart disease. The course offers a unique opportunity to become an expert in the area of periprocedural echocardiography.
We are looking forward to receiving your application and meeting you in London.
Your sincerely,
Thomas F. Lüscher
