PCR Tricuspid Focus Group - Referral Meeting in Lisbon

Learning objectives:

• Promote early diagnosis and appropriate timing of intervention in valvular heart disease, reinforcing the clinical relevance of echocardiographic findings in decision-making.
• Standardize the echocardiographic assessment of mitral and tricuspid valve disease using 2D and 3D transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, enhancing consistency across clinical, imaging, and interventional teams.
• Develop hands-on skills through high-fidelity simulation, including training on normal and pathological anatomical models, with progressive learning stations from anatomy to beating-heart scenarios.
• Facilitate multidisciplinary communication and collaboration between clinical cardiologists, echocardiographers, interventional cardiologists, and cardiac surgeons through a shared echocardiographic language and practical framework.
