Echo in Pulmonology (PH & Right Heart)

Training Overview

Echo in Pulmonology (PH & Right Heart) Training is a specialized, practice-oriented educational program designed for cardiologists, pulmonologists, and echocardiography specialists involved in the assessment and management of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right heart dysfunction. This two-day program provides a comprehensive understanding of the hemodynamic, anatomical, and functional aspects of right heart and pulmonary circulation, with a strong focus on echocardiographic techniques and interpretation.

The course begins with core sessions on right heart anatomy, pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension, and echocardiographic principles essential for evaluating right ventricular (RV) structure, function, and pressure estimation. Participants learn to interpret key parameters such as TAPSE, FAC, RV strain, and pulmonary artery systolic pressure, along with Doppler-based flow assessments for accurate hemodynamic evaluation.

Through simulation-based workshops, participants gain hands-on experience in right heart image acquisition and measurement using advanced echocardiography simulators that replicate clinical scenarios. These sessions include 2D and 3D echo imaging, strain analysis, Doppler assessment, and estimation of pulmonary pressures under expert supervision.

Case-based discussions and interactive sessions with expert faculty enable participants to review real PH cases—covering diverse etiologies such as idiopathic PAH, chronic thromboembolic PH, and PH secondary to left heart disease or lung pathology. Participants also explore the integration of multimodality imaging (CT, MRI, and right heart catheterization) for comprehensive diagnosis and monitoring.

By the end of the program, participants will have enhanced their ability to apply echocardiography for accurate diagnosis, risk stratification, and longitudinal follow-up of patients with pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dysfunction, improving overall clinical decision-making and patient outcomes.
