Dear Colleagues,
CroEcho2025 is a scientific and professional congress of the Working Group on Echocardiography and Imaging Modalities in Cardiology of the Croatian Cardiac Society, held under the auspices of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). Once again, it will bring us together in Poreč from May 8 to May 10, 2025, creating a platform for connection and collaboration among cardiologists at all stages of their careers — from beginners to mentors, as well as leading national and international experts from all fields of cardiology.
The congress is dedicated to excellence in cardiac diagnostics and clinical decision-making in the management and treatment of conditions where echocardiography and imaging methods play a key role. Our goal is to provide education aligned with European and global standards in the areas of basic echocardiography, advanced echocardiographic techniques, and other imaging modalities.
As in previous years, plenary sessions will focus on valvular heart diseases and a multidisciplinary approach to addressing key clinical dilemmas, understanding pathophysiological processes, and disease progression. Special attention will be given to the application of echocardiographic parameters and new advanced methods that enhance the understanding of pathophysiology. Cardio-oncology, cardiomyopathies, and acute conditions are important components of this year’s plenary lectures, which will be delivered by invited speakers and international experts from Europe and around the world. The scope of artificial intelligence and its valuable contributions to clinical echocardiography will also be an unavoidable topic addressed at the congress.
By bringing together a community of cardiology specialists to tackle complex clinical cases through expert clinical reasoning and the exchange of diverse perspectives, we reaffirm our commitment to placing the patient at the heart of clinical practice.
The quality of the professional and practical content of our echocardiography course has been recognized by the EACVI’s Education and Professional Development Committee, which has endorsed it as an outstanding course.
Do come and join us — share your views, knowledge, ideas, and clinical experience, and take part in professional and scientific discussions in the plenary lectures and debates.
We look forward to welcoming you and working together in Poreč.
