• Role of stress echocardiography in AS (Patrizio Lancellotti)
• Role of cardiac CT in aortic stenosis (Victoria Delgado)
• Deformation Imaging of Aortic Valve Stenosis (Erwan Donal)
• Role of MRI in aortic stenosis (João L. Cavalcante and Gerry McCann)
• Role of PET CT (Marc Dweck)
• LF LG aortic stenosis: low LVEF (Jean Luc Monin)
• LF LG aortic stenosis: normal LVEF (Philippe Pibarot)

 Part 3: Congress reports from Eurovalve 2015

• Improving risk stratification with imaging in Asymptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis
• Exercise Testing/Echocardiography in Asymptomatic AS (Raluca Dulgheru, Belgium)
• Valve Calcification by CT (David Messika-Zeitoun, France)
• Neurohormones (Jutta Bergler-Klein, Austria)
• Myocardial fibrosis with MRI (Victoria Delgado, The Netherlands)

Access    

 Part 4: Webinar - Imaging in TAVI procedures

• Acquire a perfect knowledge of the role of TTE and TOE for the selection of patients for assessment of aortic stenosis, for selection of patients for TAVI procedure and during TAVI procedure.
• Acquire information and knowledge about the role of Cardiac and vascular CT for the selection of patients before TAVI.
• Acquire knowledge about the role of other imaging techniques (PET/ Ct – MRI) and the respective indications of each of these techniques.
• Learn how imaging may guide the choice between conventional surgery and TAVI in q patient with severe aortic stenosis?
• Learn how patients with AS should be followed up by imaging after TAVI and how the results of this imaging may influence outcomes.

Access    

 Part 5: Interview debate - Imaging in Aortic Stenosis

• Which imaging technique for which patient? (chair: Bernard Cosyns)
• Echocardiography is better (Andreas Hagendorff)
• Cardiac CT is better (Victoria Delgado)
