Advance your expertise in structural heart disease imaging

The British Heart Valve Society (BHVS) is pleased to highlight the Postgraduate Course in Periprocedural Echocardiography 2026, taking place in London from 9–11 July 2026 at the Royal Marsden Education and Conference Centre and the Royal Brompton Clinical Skills and Simulation Centre.

As transcatheter interventions continue to transform the management of valvular and structural heart disease, advanced imaging skills have become essential for procedural planning, guidance, and patient selection. This three-day postgraduate course has been designed to meet the growing need for specialist training in periprocedural echocardiography, bringing together leading experts in structural heart disease imaging from across the UK and Europe.

Why Attend?

Participants will benefit from:

  • State-of-the-art lectures covering contemporary structural heart interventions
  • Interactive case-based discussions Live-in-a-box procedural case reviews
  • Dedicated sessions on mitral, tricuspid and aortic valve interventions
  • Training in imaging for left atrial appendage occlusion, atrial septal defect closure and circulatory support devices
  • Hands-on workshops in a clinical skills and simulation environment

The faculty includes renowned experts in structural heart disease and echocardiography, including course directors Professor Thomas F. Lüscher, Dr Ali Vazir and Dr Alison Duncan, alongside faculty from leading centres in London, Cambridge, Oxford, Milan, Bern and Aarau.

The course has been submitted for Royal College accreditation and has been awarded 9 BSE points.

BHVS members with an interest in structural heart disease imaging, interventional echocardiography and valve interventions are encouraged to attend.
