Echo Hawaii Program

Echo Hawaii present the latest information on established and emerging cardiovascular ultrasound technologies. Expert U.S. and international faculty discuss state-of-the-art technologies with a particular focus on how they can be effectively applied in the clinical setting. Case-based approaches are used to discuss new and established uses of echocardiography for diagnosis and guiding management in patients with a broad array of cardiovascular conditions. Topics include: advanced assessment of systolic and diastolic function, 3D/4D imaging, adult congenital heart disease, contemporary approaches to valve disease, advanced anatomy, ischemic heart disease and aortic pathology.

Course Highlights
• Basic and advanced echo techniques for quantitative assessment of systolic and diastolic function
• Echocardiography for decision-making and interventional guidance in valvular heart disease
• Contrast for improved echo quality: endocardial border detection and beyond
• How to integrate new echo technology (3D, strain, torsion) into a busy clinical lab
• Role of echocardiography in managing cardiomyopathies
• The multimodality imaging lab: what is the role of echo?
