About the course

To make it simple for you to keep up, we created the Guidelines in Focus course – where we summarise the most recent guidelines in concise, practical lessons.

We’ll also be in the room when the new guidelines are launched at the ESC conference in Madrid. You’ll get summaries of what’s relevant to echocardiography, delivered as short lectures – plus exclusive webinars to go deeper. The course is already running and very successful – but there’s still time to jump on board. You’ll get weekly lectures and follow along as we cover ESC Guidelines updates.

Course structure

To keep your learning experience smooth and manageable, we'll release new content weekly. You’ll retain full access to all videos, guidelines, and recorded webinars even after the release period. Moreover, the most important guidelines are summarised at the end of each topic.

Additional benefits

You will not only get access to videos and lectures relevant to guidelines in echocardiography, but also have the possibility to take part in Q&A sessions. Moreover, you can already use our AI SonoAssistant – that also provides up-to-date guidelines – from the very start.

Course outline

Endocarditis

Comprehensive chapter including diagnosis through echocardiography & other imaging modalities, prosthetic valve endocarditis, indications for surgery, and antibiotic management.

Course outline

Aortic Disease

Covering measurements of the aorta, non-syndromic & syndromic heritable aortic diseases, and indications for surgery.

Webinar #1: Hypertension

This webinar highlights the role of echocardiography in hypertension management, focusing on the 2024 ESC Guidelines. It covers when to perform imaging, how to assess organ damage, and includes key updates on left atrial and ventricular strain measurements and more...

Incl. live Q&A sessions

Diastolic Dysfunction

Focus on the updated guideline recommendations for diastolic function assessment. We discuss the 2016 guidelines and explore the clinical relevance of diastolic dysfunction in hypertension, restrictive cardiomyopathy, and HFpEF. Echo remains central to assessment—but interpretation requires nuance.

Webinar #2: HCMP & Echo Cardiomyopathies

This webinar highlights key ACC/AHA 2024 updates on HCM, focusing on echocardiographic diagnosis, phenotyping, obstruction assessment, and SCD risk stratification using echo imaging techniques with provocative maneuvers.

Guideline summary after every topic

Coronary Artery Disease

This chapter explores the role of echocardiography in the diagnosis, risk stratification, and management of coronary artery disease. It covers when to perform echo, stress modalities, myocardial strain (GLS), post-revascularization assessment, and how echo findings guide therapeutic decisions and help distinguish ischemic from non-ischemic cardiomyopathy.

Webinar #3: Atrial Fibrillation

This webinar covers the role of echocardiography in atrial fibrillation, including its use in diagnosis, treatment planning, and assessing complications like tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy and thrombi. It explores when to use TTE, TOE, or CT, and how imaging guides anticoagulation and control strategies, with a focus on valvular heart disease and advanced imaging in complex cases.

Valvular Disease

This chapter covers updates on valve disease guidelines, explores the evolving role of echo in the context of TAVR, and discusses key changes in assessing and managing aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valve lesions.

Webinar #4: Valvular Disease and course Q&A

Join us for a high-impact webinar unpacking key updates on valvular heart disease from ESC 2025 conference in Madrid. From new thresholds in aortic stenosis to advances in MR, AR, and TR.

HCMP & Echo: Do you know the marker​?

Click here for the detailed answer.

The correct answer is A) LV apical aneurysms!

LV apical aneurysms are dangerous because they: 

🔍 Form areas of scar and fibrosis → perfect substrate for ventricular tachyarrhythmias. 

🔍 Create electrical instability with re-entry circuits → higher SCD risk. 

🔍 Indicate advanced disease and adverse remodeling in HCM.

🔍 Carry additional thromboembolic risk due to mural thrombi. 


The 2023 ESC Cardiomyopathy Guidelines emphasize that patients with HCM and LV apical aneurysm should be considered for ICD implantation even if no other risk factors are present. 👉 Find out more about how you can stay up to date with the guidelines in our Guidelines in Focus: Echo Essentials for Clinical Practice.
