WORKSHOP TRACKS

01 PHV ASSESSMENT

Basics & Orientation
  • Know your valve before you scan
  • Types of valves, Echo appearance (TTE vs TEE)
  • Expected gradients & flow patterns
Stepwise Approach
  • How to systematically assess a prosthetic valve
  • Position
  • Leaflet / Disc motion
  • Gradients (mean / peak)
  • Doppler parameters
  • DVI / AT
  • DD: normal vs abnormal groups
  • Algorithm-based approach with cases
PHV Stenosis
  • True vs Pseudo
  • Causes
  • Echo clues: ↑ gradients, ↓ DVI, ↑ AT
  • Valve-specific cut-offs
  • Aortic / Mitral PHV
PHV Regurgitation
  • Central vs Paravalvular leak
  • Key parameters
  • Jet characteristics & circumferential extent
  • Pulmonary venous flow
  • Quantification challenges
Masses on PHV
  • Thrombus vs pannus vs vegetation
  • D/D: Location / mobility / echo density
  • Role of TEE / 3D echo
  • Clinical correlation (anticoagulant status, fever, IE)
Pitfalls & Discussion
  • Where do we go wrong
  • Artifacts / acoustic shadowing
  • Pressure recovery phenomenon
  • PPM
  • When gradient ≠ obstruction

02 STRAIN IMAGING

  • What is myocardial strain and why is it needed?
LV Strain
  • Introduction to LV strain – myocardial architecture, different forms / components
  • Echocardiographic assessment (methodology, pitfalls, tips & tricks, normal values)
  • Clinical applications
LA Strain
  • Introduction – LA size & function during cardiac cycle
  • Different components of LA strain
  • Echocardiographic assessment (methodology, pitfalls, tips & tricks, normal values)
  • Clinical applications
RV Strain
  • Introduction – RV contractile behavior & components
  • Echocardiographic assessment (methodology, pitfalls, tips & tricks, normal values)
  • Clinical applications

03 3D ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY

  • Why and when is 3D echo needed?
Basic Fundamentals
  • Basic concepts
  • Image acquisition
  • Post-processing & image analysis
  • Pitfalls / artifacts / tips & tricks in imaging
Chamber Quantification
  • LV volumes, mass and ejection fraction
  • RV volume and ejection fraction
  • LA volume
Structural Disease Assessment

Mitral Valve Diseases

  • Evaluation of mitral valve with 3D
  • Assessment (MS, MR mechanism / severity)
  • Guiding repair surgery / intervention

Aortic Valve Diseases

  • Evaluation of aortic valve with 3D
  • Assessment (AS, AR mechanism / severity)
  • Guiding repair surgery / intervention

Tricuspid Valve Diseases

  • Evaluation of tricuspid valve with 3D
