ASE’s 36th Annual State-of-the-Art Echocardiography follows the themes of structural heart disease, myocardial and pericardial disease, coronary artery disease, and interventional echocardiography. During the course, presentations will highlight what echo brings to each theme, help clinicians recognize and avoid common errors and pitfalls, and learn how to apply the guidelines in a practical manner.
The faculty consists of recognized leaders in the field of echocardiography acclaimed for their teaching abilities. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with the faculty one-on-one in the preconference, computerbased Learning Lab, and during the question and answer sessions
* Date original release: February 16 –19, 2024
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, participants will be better able to:
