Cardiology Echocardiography

Consultant Cardiologist, Echo Lab, Hygeia Hospital, Athens, Greece. CEST offers hands-on training in Echocardiography in a high fidelity simulation system. It is ideal for trainees in cardiology because they build their skillset step by step first by familiarizing themselves with normal anatomy and echo findings and then by gradually progressing to various clinical pathologies of increasing difficulty.

Eirini Polymenopoulou

Anesthesiologist ICU

Consultant Anesthesiologist in ICU, Asclepeion Hospital, Athens, Greece. In depth hands on state-of-the-art TEE training simulation course and seminars on ICU and Emergencies clinical scenarios. I highly recommend the CEST experience to anyone who wants to learn anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system and echocardiography. Don't miss this opportunity.

Konstantinos Bitos

Cardiology Resident

Specialist in General Internal Medicine, University Heart Center, Zyrich, Switzerland. Simulation-based TEE training emerges as a key educational tool to improve accesibility of learning and accelerate the learning curve. Simulation shows significant benefits in improving TEE skills among Cardiology fellows. The option of TEE Hands-On training is an excellent experience.

Milica Vukicevic

Internal Medicine Cardiology

Cardiologist, Cardiac Surgery Clinic, University Clinical Center of Serbia. Dr Tsoukas is an excellent mentor, highly skilled on Echocardiography, who allows the trainees to aquire probe manipulation and image interpretation skills in a comprehensive and accelerated manner. I highly recommend the CEST if you want to have an in-depth update and improve rapidly your knowledge in Echocardiography.

Gely Samara

Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology

Faculty of Medicine University Hospital of Ioannina, Greece. TEE is a very powerful intraoperative monitoring tool in Cardio-Surgery. Nowdays TEE is performed by the same Anesthesiologist who is providing anesthesia. I am very grateful to the instructors of CEST for their assistance and contribution to understand better and learn in depth the detailed TEE protocol in a wide range of heart diseases. Don't miss it!

Andriana Anagnostopoulou

Pediatric Cardiologist

Consultant, Aghia Sophia Children Hospital, Athens, Greece. I had the honor to participate in "TEE Hand-On Simulation Training Course" as well as the Seminars ¨Ultrasound in Emergencies" and "Echo in ICU" at CEST. Simulation-based teaching in TTE and TEE Echocardiography had a significant improvement in my Knowledge, skills and confidence. I plan to join the next educational echo courses at CEST.

Nicoletta Orphanou

Senior Clinical Fellow Cardiology

Consultant Cardiologist, Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals, London, UK. Dr Tsoukas and the team of CEST are expert instructors on teaching TTE and TEE to physicians from A to Z. The participants can rapidly advance their knowledge to match their particular clinical demands. Additionally the seminars "Ultrasound in Emergencies and ICU" can drastically improve their skills in a wide range of emergency clinical conditions.

Alexandros Mourselas

Student School of Medicine

European University Cyprus School of Medicine. Simulation-based teaching shows significant benefits over conventional methods based on lectures. The details of 3D anatomical heart model side by side with the respective echo views, allows to a beginner trainee a step by step method to learn cardiac anatomy, physiology and pathophsiology. A great experience at CEST.
