Program Overview

Structural heart disease refers to a defect in the heart’s valves, walls, or chambers. The most common types of structural heart disease are aortic valve disease, mitral valve disease, tricuspid and pulmonic valve disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and congenital heart disease, such as atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect.

This New York Transcatheter Valves course is poised to help healthcare professionals stay current on new and emerging approaches in the diagnosis, management and treatment of valvular and structural heart disease. A robust agenda combines individual and collective opinions from field expert clinicians and scholars. The educational format will consist of live transcatheter procedures with moderated discussions and live interactive Q&A’s with our expert faculty. There will also be focused lectures on the key topics of structural heart disease by the expert faculty.
