Bristol ACHD echo course 2019
The course will cover all congenital lesions and aim to provide echo-anatomic correlation through a mixture of lectures, case workshops and morphology sessions. Sessions will be based around lesions and include talks on morphology, intervention and surgery and pre and post-repair echo, delivered by national experts in the field.
Objectives
The Bristol ACHD echo course is a two-day programme providing a comprehensive overview of echocardiography in adult patients with congenital heart disease.
The course covers the simple and complex cardiac lesions that are encountered in contemporary clinical practice. In each session:
- the morphology of each cardiac lesion is demonstrated
- echocardiographic features of the native lesion are described
- surgical and/or interventional treatments are explained, and postoperative/follow up echocardiography is described
Lectures will be supplemented by illustrative case presentations.
The Bristol ACHD Echo Course provides:
- invaluable structured teaching in ACHD echocardiography to cardiologists, cardiac physiologists and echocardiographers
- an ideal introduction to ACHD for all cardiology trainees specialising in imaging
- comprehensive revision of echocardiography for ACHD specialists (including paediatric cardiologists and trainees with an interest in ACHD)
- a comprehensive curriculum for those preparing for BSE or EACVI accreditation or re-accreditation
- interest and insight from echo-anatomic correlations and surgical illustrations for anyone working in ACHD
The course is co-directed by Dr Stephanie Curtis, Clinical Lead for Echocardiography and ACHD at the Bristol Heart Institute and Dr Nav Masani, Cardiologist and Past President of the British Society of Echocardiography. We are delighted that our faculty includes national
leaders and renowned teachers in adult congenital heart disease and cardiac surgery, cardiac morphology and echocardiography.
