Welcome to the 2nd East Bohemia Stress Echocardiography Course & Workshop

Dear colleagues,

There is growing demand for stress imaging not only for ische-mia testing, but also for structural disease assessment. Stress echocardiography benefits from being low cost and radiation free method with high accuracy which can be performed with minimal additional staffing or technical requirements.

The two-day introductory course objective is to provide over-view of the stress echocardiography indications and technique as indicated in current guidelines. The course is designed for either beginners or experienced stress echo operators with in-terest in stress echocardiography. Lectures and case reports are accompanied by live streaming from the echo lab, hand--outs of all the lectures are provided for the future reference.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Hradec Králové.
