Welcome message

Dear Colleagues,

It is a great honor to invite you to the EACTAIC ECHO Course, which will be held at the Sheraton Hotel, Zagreb, from 11 to 14 June 2022.

Hosting an EACTAIC ECHO Course is a great honor and a great commitment. We will do our best to organize this course in accordance with the highest professional standards, but also to make the event and the venue, Zagreb and Croatia, an unforgettable experience for all attendees.

Eminent European and world experts in the field of cardiac ultrasound are involved in the organization and management of the course. The program is divided into three courses:  the Basic Course will enable you to acquire basic knowledge of perioperative ultrasound, the Certification Course is aimed at those who are preparing for the EACVI perioperative TEE exam, whereas the aim of the Advanced Course is to give you insight into the latest advances in perioperative ultrasound and enable you to make critical decisions during surgical and interventional cardiology procedures as well as in an ICU setting.

Hands-On Training will provide you with a live experience of transesophageal as well as transthoracic echo exam guided by our teachers. 

I am addressing you on behalf of the Organizing Committee and invite you to come to Zagreb to expand your knowledge of perioperative ultrasound as well as to enjoy the beauties Zagreb and Croatia have to offer.

Zdenko Povšić-Čevra, Chair of the Local Organizing Committee
