Description
The symposium will bring together cardiologists, cardiology fellows, cardiac sonographers, radiographers and radiologists to enhance knowledge and skills in cardiovascular imaging. The programme will focus on three key areas: echocardiography, cardiac CT and cardiac MRI, providing a platform for knowledge sharing, professional development and discussions on the application of advanced imaging techniques in cardiovascular diagnosis and patient management.
Objectives
apply the EACVI essential quantitative dataset; integrate diastolic, strain and right-heart parameters into clinical decisions; quantify rheumatic and degenerative mitral disease to guideline-defined intervention thresholds.use coronary calcium and CTCA to reclassify risk and guide prevention; position CTCA versus invasive angiography in chronic coronary syndromes (ESC 2024); apply CMR tissue characterisation to myocarditis, cardiomyopathy and heart failure phenotypes.
acquire and quantify the EACVI essential echo dataset at the probe; score coronary calcium and assess CTCA plaque features; recognise LGE and mapping patterns on CMR and relate them to clinical decisions.
agree a minimum echo dataset and a structured report template for use across Kenyan and African health systems; define quality-assurance priorities and a rural training pathway
