Imaging speeds early diagnosis of heart disease, the top killer in the Western world
Date:11/6/2012

"Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease and the leading killer in Europe," said Professor Patrizio Lancellotti, President-Elect of the EACVI and Chairman of the EUROECHO Scientific Programme Committee. "Many of these deaths could be averted by diagnosis at a preclinical stage or early after the onset of symptoms."

He added: "Echocardiography and other imaging modalities play an important role in the diagnosis of atherosclerosis. For example, many of the features associated with a high risk plaque can now be probed by novel imaging techniques such as ultrasound imaging of carotid intima-media thickness, contrast enhanced ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET)."

Professor Luigi Badano, EACVI President, continued: "We now have the tools to image the early signs of atherosclerosis without waiting for symptoms or clinical manifestations."

This breakthrough is the focus of the first theme of the congress, imaging atherosclerosis.

EUROECHO 2012 is one of the largest echo and imaging meetings in the world and is expected to attract more than 3,000 cardiologists, internists, cardiac surgeons and sonographers from over 90 countries. This year promises four days of the latest science and treatment monitoring options in cardiovascular imaging, with an abundance of news stories for journalists. The full scientific programme is available here.

Nearly 700 original scientific abstracts will be presented by international scientists on hot topics such as increasing the viability of hearts for transplantation, cardiovascular risks in patients with HIV, the links between obstructive sleep apnea and heart disease, and assessing the cardiac damage induced by cancer drugs.

"The aim is to create an exciting forum for both clinicians and scientists
