2023 Course Overview
Boston Structural Heart is a unique and state of the art course in structural heart disease (SHD) imaging, and is being presented as a virtual live course with extended period of access to attendees. This course is specifically designed for cardiologists, anesthesiologists, and physicians commonly involved in SHD imaging, as well as cardiac anesthesia fellows wishing to become experts in 3D imaging and broaden their skillset in imaging for SHD interventions. This course is being presented by expert faculty from a high volume SHD imaging center with extensive experience in the management of variations in SHD imaging.
Specifically, this course is designed to allow participants to learn the nuts and bolts of SHD imaging. The comprehensive curriculum has been structured to provide a graded progression of concepts from the very basic to the advanced aspects of SHD imaging. The course will commence with a comprehensive masterclass in 3D imaging to educate attendees on the various applications of 3D imaging for SHD. Additional workshops will cover safety and staffing model related SHD topics, along with comprehensive education regarding imaging for interventions including transseptal puncture, mitral valve, tricuspid valve, aortic valve and left atrial appendage.
This course will be offered in a live virtual format from August 11th to August 13th. These workshops will take the form of didactic lectures, case-based discussions, as well as panel discussions to discuss key concepts. As a course aimed to provide the most practical aspects of echocardiography, what participants learn in the course today, they can use tomorrow.
Who Should Attend
- Specialty Physicians
- Anesthesiology

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Learn the basic fundamentals of ultrasound physics and how it applies to 3D imaging, image formation, transducer design & advanced topics such as multiplanar reconstruction.
- Use advanced concepts of 3D imaging such as multiplanar reconstruction.
- Appreciate room set-up and safety issues such as radiation safety for SHD interventions.
- Obtain knowledge of key fluoroscopic views used for SHD imaging and how these views correlate to echocardiography.
- Learn the complex anatomy of the intra-atrial septum and key imaging relating to trans-septal puncture with didactic lectures and also case examples with panel discussion.
- Acquire an in-depth understanding of imaging required for procedures involving the mitral valve, tricuspid valve and left atrial appendage.
- Appreciate the procedural steps involved in specific SHD interventions of the mitral valve, tricuspid valve, aortic valve and left atrial appendage as well as acquire an in-depth understanding of imaging required for these procedures.
- Learn about current and future training for SHD imaging as well as future directions in SHD interventions including new and evolving therapies.
