ESC/EACVI Cardiac MRI Course Jeddah Heart Institute, Erfan Hospital, Jeddah KSA The course is run under the auspices of the Bristol Heart Institude, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK and the Jeddah Heart Institute, ERFAN. CME accreditations with the Royal College of Physicians and Royal College of Radiology, UK have been submitted. Endorsed by Supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Circle Cardiovascular Imaging and Siemens. Overview A comprehensive Level 1, 3-day course on why and how to use cardiac MRI in cardiovascular medicine.* Heavily hands-on practical with review of clinical 50 cases, simulation scanning and image analysis performed directly by attendees on dedicated workstations. The content of the programme is in line with the ESC/EACVI CMR core syllabus. The course is designed for trainees and consultants, either cardiologists or radiologists that have started and wanting to start CMR. Registration is limited to 20 participants to ensure max interaction with the faculty.
