Chairs’ Message
We are thrilled to invite you to SCA Echo 2027, taking place February 4 –7, in the vibrant city of Nashville, TN!
Get ready for four immersive days of learning, collaboration, and inspiration as we explore the cutting edge of echocardiography in perioperative and surgical care. The 2027 program will expand on the series of dynamic multidisciplinary panels that explore the pivotal role of echocardiography in shaping surgical decision-making, especially in the realms of valvular heart disease, mechanical circulatory support, and data discordance.
Step into the heart of the operating room as we tackle real-world clinical challenges and evolving strategies. Participate in enriching discussions on the ever-expanding role of echocardiography in perioperative care, the latest transcatheter procedures in structural heart disease, and how to incorporate 3D echocardiography into your clinical practice.
Elevate your expertise in our signature “Learn from the Experts” sessions which will highlight echo-anatomic correlations with porcine dissections of the aortic, mitral and tricuspid valves and hone your hands-on skills in our 3D echocardiography breakout sessions.
Whether you’re aiming to refine your skills, expand your clinical toolbox, or connect with leaders in the field, SCA Echo 2027 offers an unmatched opportunity to achieve your goals.
