VIEW PROGRAM BROCHURE
Program Overview
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 symposium offers the opportunity, in addition to didactic lectures by world experts, to have small group tutorials in each imaging modality, and hands-on experience with heart specimens to better visualize and understand cardiac and valvular structure and enhance correlations with cardiac imaging.

- Describe the timing and interventions in common valvular disorders
- Discuss how imaging can be utilized to differentiate cardiomyopathies and masses
- Explain the role of imaging in vascular disease and diseases of the aorta
