DGAI Module 1 & 2: Perioperative transthoracic echocardiography (TTE)

Our new modular course in perioperative echocardiography is aimed at all those interested in this imaging procedure and covers all examination modalities for cardiac surgery and catheter-based interventions.

We have been running courses in transesophageal echocardiography with great success since 1999. The importance, complexity and specialization of perioperative echocardiography has steadily increased.

In terms of content, the modules cover the entire updated spectrum including 3D echocardiography, quantitative echocardiography, speckle tracking and echocardiography during catheter-based interventions. The use of transthoracic echocardiography during interventional procedures in local anesthesia, for patients in the recovery room and in the intensive care unit has increased significantly in importance. We offer the new modules for perioperative focused transthoracic echocardiography on this subject. Our modules comply with the new DGAI guidelines and are certified by the DGAI and the Berlin Medical Association.
