Cardiac Imaging symposium
Multimodal Imaging in the assessment of stable chest pain
COURSE FEE FOR TRAINEES - £250. This inaugural Guildford Cardiac Imaging meeting is being organised to offer cardiologists and radiologists an intensive update into cardiac imaging for the assessment of chest pain. Recent changes in NICE guidelines have stressed the importance of non-invasive cardiac imaging in this field. This intensive one day course will cover the evidence for each imaging modality, will offer practical tips on setting up cardiac imaging services locally, and will offer a hands on clinical case review session for each modality. We aim to demonstrate the relative strengths of each technique and thus give delegates clear direction in developing and utilising their local cardiac imaging services.
