(Manila Bulletin)

Heart disease has always been a top concern of health experts worldwide and at the home front. As part of the physician’s arsenal, echocardiography has remained one of the most bankable cardiovascular diagnostic tools for the past few decades.

The ability to provide both physicians and their patients vibrant and realistic images of the moving heart has helped echocardiography keep its stronghold as the most accessible and clinically-relevant test in modern times.

To celebrate its current and future role in the care of heart patients, the Philippine Society of Echocardiography will once again team up with the Philippine Heart Association Council on Echocardiography in staging the 21st edition of the Annual Echo Convention from Sept. 13 to 15, 2015 at the Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria, Ortigas Center, Quezon City.

This three-day event will feature a Pre-convention Workshop on Sept. 13, at 1-5 p.m. dedicated to advanced topics on pediatric cardiology and 3-dimensional imaging.

The formal convention proper from Sept. 14 to Sept. 15 promises to be a socially and scientifically jampacked affair, consisting of more than 30 interesting lectures and sessions to be handled by renowned Philippine cardiologists as well as internationally-acclaimed foreign faculty.
