The programme is composed of seven parts, as follows:

Part 1: Tutorials

  • Role of echocardiography in assessment of aortic stenosis (Jean Luc Monin)
  • CMR Stress Perfusion and Ischaemic Heart Disease (Eike Nagel & Chiara Bucciarelli-Ducci)
  • Assessment of Aorta and Aortic Disease by CMR (Philip Kilner & Sven Plein)

Part 2: Powerpoint presentations on Imaging in Aortic Stenosis

  • Echocardiography in aortic stenosis - difficult situations and guidelines (Gilbert Habib)
  • 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)

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.

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)
  • Now also includes: Hot topics in imaging aortic stenosis
    ESCTV interview hosted by Victoria Delgado featuring Philippe Pibarot, during EuroEcho-Imaging 2017

Part 6: References and Guidelines

  • The list of references used in the PowerPoint presentations
  • A selection of EACVI recommendations on Imaging in Aortic Stenosis
