Join us for an informative session on Goal Directed Valsalva. Participants will gain a clear understanding of which specific phases of the Valsalva maneuver are most appropriate for the evaluation of Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) and Left Ventricular Outflow Tract (LVOT) gradients. The webinar will also highlight the clinical superiority of this technique by identifying three primary reasons why GDV is the preferred method of Valsalva.

In addition to the physiological principles, this session provides practical guidance on the best practices for implementing GDV in your clinical practice. Attendees will also learn to identify the necessary equipment required for GDV, ensuring you are fully prepared to integrate this method into your lab’s workflow.
