13th Annual Multimodality Cardiovascular Imaging for the Clinician - October 5-6, 2024
October 5, 2024 to October 6, 2024
In-Person and Virtual attendance options are available.
Presented by the Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center
13th Annual Multimodality Cardiovascular Imaging for the Clinician
Cardiovascular imaging plays a vital role in the management of the cardiovascular patient. Knowledge of various imaging modalities is critical to understanding their advantages, limitations and appropriate utilization in patients with ischemic heart disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, cardiomyopathy, masses, valvular disease, and aortic disease.
This conference offers the opportunity, in addition to didactic lectures by world experts, to participate in small-group tutorials in each imaging modality. Demonstrations of heart anatomy assist in visualizing and understanding cardiac and valvular structure to enhance correlations with cardiac imaging.
Please note that the video recording of the conference will be available exclusively for attendees to view for up to three months after the activity (recording will not be certified for CE credit).
