EACVI 2025 is the pioneering event that unites the full spectrum of cardiovascular imaging congresses, including EuroEcho-Imaging, ICNC-CT, and EuroCMR.

The three-day event brings together the field of echocardiography, CMR, nuclear cardiology, and CT, providing you with an experience that spans innovation, clinical application, and education. Gain practical insight into the full diagnostic pathway, from image acquisition to patient outcomes.

EACVI 2025 ensures each imaging discipline maintains its unique focus with advanced single-modality tracks while contributing to a patient-centred, multimodal vision of cardiovascular care with cross-modality topics.

All times in the programme are local time in Vienna (CET).

Highlights of the Congress

EACVI 2025 will introduce a new Imaging Training Hub, where you can engage in personnalised, hands-on immersive training led by global experts.

CME Credits will be available to support your professional development.

The programme will showcase the latest innovations in each modality, ensuring you stay ahead of emerging techniques and best practices.

Specific tracks will highlight Artificial Intelligence, Congenital Heart Disease, Valve Disease and Cardiomyopathies. 

The congress offers experiences to empower early-career imagers as well as experts, and a dedicated track is being developed for allied health professionals.

Through a patient-centred, future-focused approach, EACVI 2025 equips you with the skills, confidence, and innovation to transform cardiovascular care, improving patient outcomes at every step from diagnosis to treatment.

Tracks in the Scientific Programme

• Young: Explore sessions designed to help you build a strong foundation across all imaging modalities, with practical tips to become a master.
• Artificial Intelligence: Learn how to integrate artificial intelligence into clinical imaging workflows and stay ahead of this evolving field.
• Congenital Heart Disease: Discover how to apply cardiovascular imaging to diagnose common congenital heart conditions through dedicated, in depth sessions. 
• Valvular Heart Disease: Cardiovascular imaging plays a central role in the success of transcatheter therapies. These sessions will focus on imaging techniques to optimise diagnosis and management of valvular heart disease.
• Cardiomyopathies: Accurate diagnosis of cardiomyopathies depends on precise cardiovascular imaging. If this is your field, EACVI 2025 offers the focused expertise and training you need.
• Allied professionals: Dedicated tracks and hands-on sessions recognise the essential role of allied health professionals in cardiovascular imaging and patient care.

Named Lectures

You will definitely want to catch the presentations from international leading experts during the ESC Named Lectures. Each Named Lecture recognises the groundbreaking work of people who have paved the road in the field of cardiovascular imaging. They include a discussion to get the view of these visionary professionals on the future of cardiovascular imaging and the role of the future generations.

Jeroen Bax (Leiden, Netherlands (The))

Maurizio Galderisi Lecture on Multimodality Imaging

Prof. Bax is a professor of cardiology and Director of both Non-Invasive Imaging and the Echo Laboratory at the Leiden University Medical Center. He has also served on the editorial boards of various journals, including as Associate Editor for the Journal of the American College of Cardiology and Heart and is the Past President of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).

Dr. Bax has served the ESC in numerous capacities, including as chair of the Cardiology Practice Guidelines Committee, Chair of the Scientific Programme, Chair of the Press Committee, Co-Chair of two International Conferences on Nuclear Cardiology (ICNC) and Co-Editor of two ESC books on cardiac imaging. He has also authored more than 700 papers in international peer-reviewed journals.

His main interests include clinical cardiology, heart failure, cardiac resynchronisation therapy and the application of all different imaging modalities to these clinical fields.

Leslee Shaw (New York, United States of America)

Marie Curie and Godfrey Hounsfield Lecture on Cardiac Computed Tomography and Nuclear

Dr. Leslee J. Shaw, PhD is a leading outcomes researcher whose major focus is cardiovascular clinical diagnosis of ischemic heart disease, with a special focus on cardiac imaging.

Dr. Shaw is an endowed chair and tenured professor with triple primary appointment in obstetric, gynecology, and reproductive Science, population health, and cardiology. She is also the Director of the Blavatnik Family Research Institute.

Dr. Shaw has published more than 1,000 publications and presented more than 500 abstracts in major scientific meetings in the United States, Europe, Asia, and South America. She has an H-index >150.

James Moon (London, United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland)

Peter Mansfield and Paul Lauterbur lecture on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance

Prof. Moon is Professor of Cardiology, UCL, and leads Cardiac MRI at Barts Heart Centre, Europe’s largest cardiac centre.

Formerly British Society of CMR President, his research focuses on better understanding heart muscle from rare diseases (thalassaemia, Fabry, amyloid) to common (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, aortic stenosis, heart failure) developing new techniques and increasing access. This includes mapping (T1, perfusion), faster cheaper easier imaging; MRI for pacemaker patients, artificial intelligence and linking imaging to therapy for patient care.

His group is productive (a paper a week; 360 PubMed papers; Google citations 29,000; H-index 71). He has set up and leads a COVID collaboration generating major results.

Gerald Maurer (Vienna, Austria)

Inge Edler and Liv Hatle lecture on Echocardiography

Prof. Gerald Maurer was the Director of the Division of Cardiology and the Chairman of the Department of Medicine II at the Medical University of Vienna until 2016. He also worked for 12 years at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he was the Director of Noninvasive Cardiology and Associate Professor of Medicine at UCLA School of Medicine.

His research interests are oriented towards cardiovascular imaging, valvular, and ischemic heart disease. He has authored more than 450 peer-reviewed publications, 30 book chapters and 3 books. 

Dr. Maurer has served as President of the Austrian Society of Cardiology, President of the Austrian Society of Internal Medicine and has held a number of functions at the American College of Cardiology and the European Society of Cardiology. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the European Heart Journal – Cardiovascular Imaging, and has served on the Editorial Board of most major cardiology journals. He was appointed as Editor of ESC Cardiomed, and of the ESC Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine.
