Dear Colleagues,

It is a great pleasure to invite you all to the EACTA Echo Course 2019 in Gdańsk.

The theme of the course for 2019 is: "Back to the bedside, benefiting the patient"

The EACTA ECHO course will be held from June 22nd to June 25th, 2019 at the premises of the University Medical Centre of the Medical University of Gdańsk (MUG) in Poland.

The aim of this annual Echo Course is to educate Anaesthesiologists, Surgeons, Cardiologists, Cardiac Surgeons and Intensivists in the use of Echo in the Perioperative setting and in Intensive care. The role of Echo as a valuable and effective tool for safer and better outcomes will be explored in all aspects.
The Scientific Programme comprises a wide spectrum of topics, from basic skills to advanced and extensive knowledge. It is divided into four courses: The Basic Course will give a concise insight to transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography. The Advanced Course will focus on the use of the essence of echo examination for clinical decision-making. The Certification Course will prepare the candidates for the accreditation exam, which will be organised at the end of EACTA ECHO 2019 Course. The Hands-on Course will include tips and tricks in the most advanced echo imaging. The workshops will address the most challenging clinical problems and provide live clinical operating room cases.

Preliminary programme of the courses is available at:

Chair of the Local Organising Committee

We are happy to announce that the 10th International Symposium on Diabetes, Hypertension, Metabolic Syndrome and Pregnancy (DIP 2019) will take place in Florence, Italy, May 29 – June 1, 2019

Since the 1st meeting, the DIP Symposium has grown tremendously, dealing with over 80 years of knowledge, innovative research and the most up-to-date tools, techniques and integrative approach. DIP is considered a leading symposium in the field of Maternal and Fetal medicine, presenting data and management protocols to ensure the optimal outcome of pregnancies complicated by diabetes, hypertension and metabolic syndrome.

The 10th DIP Symposium will highlight the progress of pregnancy - from pre-pregnancy, trimester by trimester, to labor, delivery and post-partum care. Focus will be placed on the prediction and prevention of pregnancy complications – hyperglycemia, hypertension - preeclampsia, preterm birth, NCD’s (Non-Communicable Diseases) and pregnancy, fetal growth and others, as well as the cycle of future NCD’s that begins during the intrauterine life - onto mother and offspring.

You are invited to visit the Symposium website: http://www.comtecmed.com/DIP

We believe that the support of the Hungarian Society of Hypertension will make a significant contribution to what we expect to be a highly successful Symposium.
