Workshop: “Heart Work – State-of-the-Art Quantitative Exercise Imaging”

Program

  • Evaluating Shortness of Breath through Induced Breathlessness Testing | Dr. Jan Verwerft
  • Live Stress Echo
  • Q&A


Why Should You Attend?

  • To master stress echocardiography techniques combined with cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET)
  • To gain insights into in-depth phenotyping during exercise
  • To learn about the identification and mitigation of pitfalls in cardiac imaging
  • To delve into the role of speckle tracking in differential diagnosis

Meet the Expert

Speaker: Dr. Jan Verwerft, MD
Cardiologist, Heart Center Hasselt, Campus Virga Jesse
Jessa Hospital
Hasselt, Belgium
Presentation: Evaluating Shortness of Breath through Induced Breathlessness Testing "Why assess cardiac function in athletes at rest when you can do this during exercise?". This question will be answered through a live stress echo.

By using modern imaging tools like Wall Motion Tracking, supported by AI, you can see the heart at work and gain insights needed for both elite and amateur athletes with suspected heart disease.
