1st Echocardiography Imaging in Adult Congenital Heart Disease Course

28th and 29th February 2020
University Hospital Centre Zagreb, Croatia

In association with the Royal Brompton Hospital, London, UK.

Introduction

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common inborn defect.
Congenital heart disease (CHD) accounts for nearly 1/3 of all major congenital anomalies.
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is diagnosed in close to 1% of births.
The diagnosis and management of CHD has been a tremendous success story of modern medicine.
In the 1950s survival of children born with CHD was only approximately 15%, whereas nowadays more than 90% of these children survive well into adulthood.

Overview of the course

This two-day course combines clinical lectures on aspects of adults with congenital heart disease focusing on echo-anatomic correlates and management. This is a two-day course suitable for anyone interested and involved in the treatment and management of adults with congenital heart disease.4

Day one (Friday) comprises clinical lectures and the corresponding morphology of the lesion on individual echo units/laptops.
Day two (Saturday) comprises lectures and the corresponding morphology of the lesion on individual echo units/laptops in the morning and hands-on Echo scanning in the afternoon.
Echocardiographic hands-on scanning of pathologies is under the guidance of experienced tutors (limited places for this day).
All ultrasounds are Vivid echocardiography machines in Clinical Hospital Centre Zagreb, Rebro echocardiography laboratory.
Participants can attend separate:
Lesions with echo units (Friday and Saturday morning)
Hands-on scanning (limited places) (Saturday afternoon)
Please note that the hands-on scanning sessions are for right-hand scanners only.
