Our speakers

  • A/Professor Luke Burchill, Professor of Cardiology, Royal Melbourne Hospital

'Pregnancy in women with congenital heart disease'

More and more women are entering pregnancy with heart disease and Luke is going to outline how the management of them requires good risk stratification and multidisciplinary management.

  • A/Professor Michael Cheung, Head of Paediatric Cardiology, Royal Childrens Hospital

'The effect of congenital heart disease on fetal brain development'

We all have some understanding about congenital heart lesions and how they may be surgically corrected, but what about neurodevelopmental sequelae, and how do we ensure we provide good holistic counselling? This will be a great talk from the Head of Cardiology at RCH and Paediatric Cardiologist at Mercy Hospital.

  • A/Professor Simon Meagher, Obstetric Imaging Specialist, Mercy Perinatal

'Being ‘good at heart’: the essentials of antenatal diagnosis'

There is no one who can explain fetal echocardiography with the passion and clarity of Simon Meagher and he is going to ‘revisit the basics’ to make sure we optimize detection of congenital heart defects, the most common fetal structural malformation identified with ultrasound.
