Program Description:
As many new technologies enter the US market to address the unmet need of tricuspid disease, echocardiographers and sonographers are going to continue to have a greater role in helping treat these patients. Abbot is leading a session to discuss the tools and assessments needed to diagnose and image the tricuspid valve and facilitate discussion on how to embark on treating the right side of the patients heart that has traditionally been forgotten in the past. This will be the beginning of many discussions on the tricuspid valve as the community learns how to diagnose, treat, and image these patients appropriately.
