This interactive workshop is designed to highlight key echocardiographic principles covering a broad range of pertinent topics in cardiac ultrasound as dealt with by clinicians.
The lectures are scheduled to be delivered by a group of renowned local and international masters of echocardiography. Highlights include aspects of valvular heart disease assessments, cardiac chamber morphology, infective endocarditis, cardiac masses, speckle tracking and more.
Participate in this workshop to gain practical and theoretical insights into the world of echocardiography. Then head to the Exhibition Hall to hone your skills later with live demonstrations. In-person application specialists displaying real-time cardiac ultrasound at the dedicated ultrasound stands and interact with the largest gathering of cardiovascular practitioners in South Africa at the SA Heart Annual Congress!
