April 24 - 26, 2015 - Sawgrass Marriott, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

Course Directors: Ammash, Naser M., M.D. O'Leary, Patrick W., M.D.

This course focuses on the use of multi-modality imaging techniques in the management of adult patients with congenital cardiac malformations. It uses a clinical case-based format to highlight the impact that echocardiography, cardiac CT and MRI scanning can have in the care of these complex patients. The goal of the course is to improve participants’ understanding of the appropriate application of these techniques and advance their knowledge of the anatomy of, and management strategies related to, the adult patient with congenital heart disease. The symposium is led by a distinguished faculty of congenital cardiologists, cardiac pathologists and cardiac surgeons with expertise in treatment, diagnosis and management of patients with congenital heart disease.

Learning Objectives

Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

• Recognize the anatomic and physiologic features of a broad spectrum of congenital heart disease (unoperated and operated) in the adult
• Identify the clinical utility of established and emerging cardiovascular imaging modalities in adults with congenital heart disease and apply them in their clinical utility
• Describe the use most appropriate use of these imaging modalities to treat complications of congenital heart disease in adults
• Assess the optimal indications for imaging guidance during percutaneous and surgical interventions for congenital heart disease
