TL;DR: This activity aims to demonstrate an increased knowledge of the applications for contrast echocardiography and their impact on cardiac diagnosis, and to assess the common pitfalls in contrast imaging and use stepwise, guideline-based contrast equipment setup and contrast agent administration techniques to optimize image acquisition.

TL;DR: Familiarity with these imaging features and with the relative effectiveness of these modalities is essential for prompt diagnosis and effective treatment of benign primary cardiac neoplasms.

TL;DR: Lowering blood pressure improves diastolic function irrespective of the type of antihypertensive agent used, and there was no significant difference in the change in diastsolic relaxation velocity between the groups.

TL;DR: A new discipline termed cardio-oncology has thus evolved to address the cardiovascular needs of patients with cancer and optimize their care in a multidisciplinary approach and is focused on its practical aspects including cardiovascular risk assessment and prevention before cancer treatment, cardiovascular surveillance and therapy duringcancer treatment, and cardiovascular monitoring and management after cancer therapy.

TL;DR: The aim of this conference is to provide a platform for the development of a new generation of scientists and clinicians to address the rapidly changing environment in which the authors live and work.
