Fetal and Pediatric Cardiology Seminar in Paris

Fetal and Pediatric Cardiology Seminar in Paris
December 9th and 10th of 2011 – Paris – FRANCE

Dear Friends,


We propose this Seminar on fetal and pediatric cardiology. We meant it to be different. Indeed, the presentations will be delivered by Junior / Senior pairs. We hope you will find appealing and exciting this array of subjects ranging from genetics, embryology, first quarter imaging, 3D and 4D imaging and magnetocardiography to pathophysiology of the coronary flow and neurodevelopment, pathologies of the left side of the heart and surgical procedures.

Fetal dysrhythmias : Practice points

Fetal cardiac dysrhythmias are potentially life-threatening conditions. However, intermittent
extrasystoles, which are frequently encountered in clinical practice, do not require treatment.
Sustained forms of brady- and tachyarrhythmias might require fetal intervention. Fetal echocardiography
is essential not only to establish the diagnosis but also to monitor fetal response to therapy.
In the last decade, improvements in ultrasound methodology and new diagnostic tools have
contributed to better diagnostic accuracy and to a greater understanding of the electrophysiological
mechanisms involved in fetal cardiac dysrhythmias.
