Cardiology Summit at Fortis Escorts

Fortis Escorts, Amritsar, hosted the 2025 Cardiology Summit, featuring a two-day “Echo workshop” on March 8-9. The event brought together leading cardiologists from across North India on one platform to discuss and explore the latest advancements in echocardiography, a critical tool in the diagnosis and management of heart diseases.

The workshop explored the clinical importance of tricuspid regurgitation, the application of stress echocardiography in diagnosing heart conditions, and the challenges associated with pericardial disease assessment. Special focus was given to paediatric echocardiography, underscoring the importance of early diagnosis and management of congenital heart conditions.

The workshop was spearheaded by renowned experts, Dr Harinder Pal Singh, Director, Non-Invasive Cardiology, Dr Arun Kumar Chopra, Director, Cardiology and Dr Deepak Kapila, Director Cardiology at Fortis Escorts, Amritsar, who provided in-depth insights into the latest techniques and their practical applications in patient care.

Said Dr Harinder Pal Singh, “Our goal was not only to share knowledge, but also provide a hands-on learning experience for cardiologists. In a country where heart disease continues to rise, it is essential to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world clinical practice.”

Dr Arun Kumar Chopra stated, “Echocardiography has revolutionised how we diagnose and treat cardiovascular diseases. Accurate imaging allows us to tailor treatment plans, offering personalised solutions that improve survival rates and quality of life.”

Dr Deepak Kapila added, “Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide and tackling it requires collaboration and continuous learning. Our aim is to create a network of skilled cardiologists who can deliver high-quality care, regardless of geographical or infrastructural constraints.”
