Precisely determine, using new techniques, the optimal time for surgery, according to each type of congenital heart disease"

Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart disease have significantly changed the pattern of survival of these patients. Some patients reach adulthood without surgical treatment because they did not require surgery neither at the time of diagnosis or afterwards, or simply because there was no treatment available at the time of diagnosis. Then there is the high number of cases that are diagnosed during pregnancy or at birth thanks to constant technological advances and must be treated quickly.

Whatever the case may be, congenital heart disease research must continue to improve people's quality of life and find accurate and efficient solutions. For this reason, TECH has brought together a large team of professionals from different fields of cardiac surgery to share their clinical knowledge on this urgent issue. Thanks to its wide experience, multidisciplinarity and high-level scientific contribution, this is the best educational program to get up to date in everything related to the surgical approach to Congenital Heart Disease, perioperative care and the Anatomy and Pathophysiology of the Cardiovascular System.

Knowing how difficult it is for the specialist to assume a program of these characteristics, TECH offers it completely online. This means that there are no pre-set classes or fixed schedules, allowing the specialists themselves to decide where and how to take on the course workload. The contents are available 24 hours a day from day one from any device with an Internet connection; they can even be downloaded to be viewed offline at a later time.
