The irreplaceable value of echocardiographic imaging in challenging cardiology cases

This webinar, presented by Prof. Piotr Szymański of the National Institute of Medicine, focuses on the indispensable role of echocardiography in diagnosing and managing challenging cardiology cases. The presentation features real clinical scenarios where cardiac ultrasound proved essential in guiding patient care, especially when standard tests offered limited clarity.

The first case explores potential complications in a young female patient following atrial septal defect (ASD) closure, considering factors such as the occluder’s position and size, as well as potential nickel allergy reactions. The second case addresses management issues related to mild aortic valve regurgitation in a 16-year-old male involved in sports, with particular attention to the presence of a quadricuspid aortic valve and the possibility of coronary artery anomalies.

The cases highlighted include examples of atrial septal defect (ASD) closures, incidental cardiac findings, and complex structural anomalies. Each case demonstrates how diagnostic echocardiography contributes to both the detection and therapeutic decision-making process — particularly when managing patients with overlapping cardiovascular conditions.

The webinar emphasizes how echocardiographic imaging enables non-invasive, repeatable, and detailed assessment of cardiac function and anatomy. Prof. Szymański also outlines practical considerations for image optimization, interpretation, and the use of advanced modalities like color Doppler and contrast-enhanced ultrasound in certain cases.

Throughout the session, echocardiography is shown not only as a diagnostic tool but also as a critical component in interventional planning and follow-up. The cases underscore the modality’s relevance in everyday cardiology practice and its role in improving outcomes for complex patients.
