Chapters Transcript Video 43rd Annual Echocardiography and Structural Heart Symposium We're trying to look forward into where the future of medicine is going. We want to be steering that ship, so, so this symposium really kind of brings all that together. Welcome everybody to the Echo instructional Heart symposium. For me, the most fascinating aspect of, of cardiac imaging or medical imaging now is computer vision. AI is leading to changes that will inevitably lead to automated report generation to eliminate the human from interpreting echocardiography and to machines to provide a complete automated generated report with less variability and hopefully greater accuracy than a human can provide. The technology is out ahead of our ability to harness it. And to prove the effectiveness and safety of the interventions that we have the opportunity to provide at this point, and that has been the case now for some period of time, we need to catch up with the technological advances that have occurred. When you hear from our renowned panel experts and you hear the discussions back and forth, you can really put yourself. As the provider and feel comfortable asking them questions and see how they would tackle complex issues. What's unique about the symposium is that we have folks from all different specialties, so not only cardiologists and echocardiographers, we have cardiac surgeons there as well, getting together, getting knee deep into the data, and really discussing a lot of these controversial issues with the ultimate goal in mind. Of what's best for our patients. This is an exciting 2 day course that is designed to help the clinician become a better practitioner of the art and science of cardiovascular medicine. I think you should come next year because there will be interim developments and you need to hear the latest and the most advanced perspectives on what it is that we can now offer patients. Created by
