1 Certification in Congenital Heart Disease Echocardiography Syllabus European Association of CardioVascular Imaging (EACVI)) Association for European Paediatric Cardiology (AEPC) Working Group on Grown-up Congenital Heart Disease of ESC (WG 22) Introduction: This syllabus is a guide for candidates wishing to pursue certification in congenital heart echocardiography. The candidate is expected to know and be skilled in basic principles of cardiac ultrasound. Additionally, they should know and understand the range of congenital heart defects in children and adults, and acquired heart defects in childhood. Although not all candidates will have the opportunity to train or work in cardiac surgical centres, they should be competent in the echocardiographic evaluation of unoperated congenital heart disease, the assessment of patients for surgical or catheter treatment, and post-procedural review. Intraoperative and cardiac catheter guidance for interventions is more advanced and the candidate is not expected to have experience of this, although an understanding of this is encouraged. 1
