Pediatric Echocardiography Update (PEU) 2025: Pulmonary Hypertension from Neonate to Adult

Saturday, April 5, 2025, 8:00 AM - 4:40 PM, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital, Chicago, IL


The Pediatric Echocardiography Update 2025 is a comprehensive educational meeting designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of healthcare professionals relating to pediatric echocardiography, with a special focus on pulmonary hypertension across various age groups. This event will feature diverse sessions, including expert-led presentations, interactive case discussions, and hands-on workshops. Participants will engage in specialized tracks covering neonatal hemodynamics, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and congenital heart disease, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of current challenges and innovations in diagnosis and management. Key topics include the hemodynamics of fetal transition, the history of Targeted Neonatal Echocardiography, and the latest advancements in echocardiographic techniques. Attendees will also benefit from asynchronous learning modules that delve into critical clinical scenarios, such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia and meconium aspiration. New this year is the poster session, where participants will have the opportunity to present their research findings, case studies, and innovative practices. This session will encourage collaboration, foster discussion, and provide valuable feedback from peers and experts. With opportunities for networking, collaboration, and direct feedback from experts, this meeting aims to foster a multidisciplinary approach to pediatric cardiac care, ultimately improving patient outcomes through enhanced echocardiographic assessment and management strategies. Join us for this vital learning experience that bridges knowledge gaps and promotes best practices in pediatric echocardiography.

1. Perform and interpret echocardiograms, with a focus on pulmonary hypertension, both with and without congenital heart disease, as well as related conditions
2. Assess the hemodynamic changes associated with fetal transition and evaluate the impact of various clinical scenarios in the premature infant
3. Apply evidence-based practices and the latest innovations in the management of patent ductus arteriosus
4. Differentiate between pulmonary hypertension and other cardiac conditions through case study analysis and integrate echocardiographic findings into comprehensive treatment plans
5. Utilize advanced imaging techniques, such as 3D echocardiography, myocardial strain analysis, and ultrasound enhancing agents to assess right ventricular function
6. Initiate collaborative care by effectively communicating with interdisciplinary teams and engaging in networking opportunities to enhance pediatric cardiac care practices.
