MKUH host first stress echocardiography interpretation course
Milton Keynes University Hospital (MKUH) is delighted to be supporting the world’s first ever stress echocardiography interpretation course.
The stress echocardiography interpretation course is designed to improve diagnostic accuracy of patients presenting with chest pains to avoid possible heart attacks and to help planning surgery. The course will begin the week commencing Monday 30 October. It will be led by the MKUH cardiology consultant team.
The five day course will teach participants about the basics of stress echocardiography. It will also look at its value in clinical settings as well as familiarising them with the use of stress echos in non-ischaemic heart conditions. The course has been fully endorsed by the European Society of Cardiology and has further been accredited by the British Society of Echocardiography. Demonstrating its value of being a pioneering step in the progression of cardiovascular imaging training.
Course organiser and director Dr Attila Kardos, who is a Consultant Cardiologist and Director of Research and Development at MKUH said, “This course offers a fantastic and practical opportunity for cardiologist and sonographers to improve their knowledge of stress echocardiography. It will help us to stratify the risks around major surgery.”
The creation of this course is another step in the hospital’s ambition to increase training and teaching opportunities.
