PROGRAMME

Access the programme

The Course programme encompasses a mix of lectures, case-based presentations with multiple-choice questions, and two types of hands-on practical workshops: TTE live scanning, image acquisition and optimisation on TOE simulators; and image post-processing performed by attendees on dedicated workstations and guided by Faculty.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be better able to:

  • recognise the main clinical indications for a TOE study
  • assess valvular and ventricular function using 2D and 3D TOE
  • understand the added value of 3D echo over conventional 2D and Doppler TOE
  • acquire basic skills in probe manipulation and 2D TOE image acquisition
  • optimise 3D TOE acquisition and analysis
  • integrate information from 2D and 3D TOE for patient selection and guidance for interventional procedures for structural heart disease
