Global Advances in Echocardiography is a first of its kind collaboration between United States and European based experts to discuss the latest in cardiac imaging. Critical interventions such as transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), transcatheter edge-to-edge repair and valve replacement procedures are dependent of echocardiography for diagnosis, indications, monitoring and guidance. This development has transformed the role of imagers around the world, creating a specific need for training and specialized utilization of echocardiography techniques. The internationally acclaimed Zurich Heart House-London Heart House combines with American thought leaders to provide a wide range of perspectives regarding optimal practices and procedures for all who utilize this critical imaging tool.
