EuroEcho-Imaging Congress was held 5-8 December 2018 in Milan, Italy. During four days, doctors and scientists from more than 90 countries of the world got acquainted with the achievements in the field of noninvasive diagnostics of cardiovascular diseases, listened to the reports of leading experts, passed training sessions at the equipment exhibition. Our specialists had a poster presentation at the Congress.
About 600 posters were presented every day throughout the Congress. The work performed in the laboratory of instrumental diagnostics of Tyumen Cardiology Research Center by Dr. Elena Yaroslavskaya and co-authors, was devoted to the study of mitral regurgitation in coronary artery disease. The expert commission highly appreciated not only the presentation itself, but also the design of the study, and awarded a special sign for the report.
Scientists noted that at the moment there are no major breakthroughs in the field of ultrasound, however there are always important topics. For Russian specialists, it is interesting to be acquainted with the work from foreign clinics, to share experience. As an example, the topic of using mathematical models to evaluate the pumping function of the heart is very interesting. It allows to eliminate the subjective factor and measure everything mathematically using images to get more accurate data. Some presentations at the Congress were devoted to the use of ultrasound together with computed tomography. This is a huge plus for both patients and doctors who can get a comprehensive conclusion.
