Interactive Cardiology Workshop

About the Course

The morning session will focus on systemic disorders affecting the heart, echocardiography in a critical care setting and interactive discussions on how to improve image quality. In the afternoon, the focus shifts to cardiac therapeutics, sedation and anesthesia in horses with heart disease, and electrocardiography. The course will be concluded with current research updates.

For 2021 only, due to ongoing concerns about COVID-19 and its impact on overseas speakers this course will be run online this year. We look forward to running this as an attended day in the future.
