Welcome to the European Society of Cardiology. Our mission: to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease in Europe
 

Webcasts from EUROECHO 2007

The European Association of Echocardiography is proud to share a select number of webcasts from the last EUROECHO Congress, held in Lisbon, December 2007

EUROECHO 2007
Using some of the presentations from the congress, the Education Committee has chosen a variety of topics that are destined to highlight the main themes of the congress and the field of Echocardiography.
