Join us for an engaging and clinically focused lecture on echocardiographic assessment of mitral valve disease, designed to enhance your diagnostic precision and confidence in daily practice.
This session will provide a comprehensive, case-based approach to evaluating mitral regurgitation and mitral stenosis, integrating current guideline recommendations with practical imaging techniques.
Distinguish degenerative (primary) from functional (secondary) MR using echocardiographic features and valve anatomy
Use Doppler findings to assess and grade mitral stenosis
Interpret echo findings within guideline-directed care to inform intervention timing and therapeutic strategy
Attendees will gain valuable insights into differentiating mechanisms of disease, quantifying severity, and applying echocardiographic findings to guide clinical decision-making.
