Cleveland Clinic 27th Annual Structural Valve Imaging Summit 2025
Cleveland Clinic’s 27th Annual Structural Valve Imaging Summit provides a comprehensive overview of valve disease, structural interventions and cardiac imaging. An expert faculty discusses state-of-the-art technology and advanced imaging topics such as strain and 3-D, pericardial diseases, amyloid, HCM and artificial intelligence. In addition to didactic lectures, this summit features complex case presentations, workshop demonstrations and spirited debates over several controversial topics.
