EUROECHO-IMAGING CONGRESS NEWS
|
12 December 2013
Gilbert Habib discusses the upcoming task of being at the head of the EACVI
To be President-Elect of the EACVI represents both a great honour and an incredible challenge. My first goal as a member of the EACVI/EAE Board for several years will be to ensure continuity by carrying on the fantastic work already achieved, particularly in the fields of education and research.
We believe that this year's EuroEcho-Imaging congress will achieve an all-time record breaking attendance of 3 200
delegates. The reason for our optimism is the growing interest of cardiologists and allied health professionals around the world in echocardiography and other imaging modalities.
With four days of scientific sessions, 150 individual sessions, and delegates anticipated from more than 90 countries, EuroEcho-Imaging 2013 undoubtedly represents the largest international medical congress covering the topic of imaging. With abstract submissions up 20% on last year (1390 individual submissions) it's likely to prove a truly record breaking meeting! Read more

ENHANCING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ECHOCARDIOGRAPHERS AND INTERVENTIONALISTS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Recent advances in minimally invasive percutaneous interventions would not have been possible without parallel developments in cardiac imaging, allowing precise guidance of catheters, optimisation of results and detection of complications. Eric Brochet, from the Hôpital Bichat, Paris, explores the importance of developing good team work between echocardiographers and interventionalists. As in any new relationship, Dr Brochet cautions, both sides of the partnership need to work together on improving communications.

Anthony DeMaria, who is just coming to the end of his ten year term as editor of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC), feels extraordinarily privileged to have had a ring side seat in the development of many new cardiovascular technologies, especially echocardiography. "Watching this technology explode has been a phenomenal experience. Throughout my career I've been so lucky to be in the right place at the right time," says Dr DeMaria, now Chief of the Cardiovascular Division of the University of California at San Diego.

Detectable blood viral load nearly doubles the prevalence of heart disease
The findings support the introduction of CV screening in all HIV patients: "One of the main objectives in HIV treatment is that blood virus levels are undetectable. When it is not achieved, the treatment is usually changed. Our findings show that having any detectable level of virus in the blood nearly doubles the risk of heart disease." Read more
