Highly qualified and experienced paediatric and adult congenital cardiologist Dr Giovanni Di Salvo MD, PhD, MSc, FESC, is visiting Royal Bahrain Hospital (RBH) from Saturday to Wednesday.
The professor, who is from Italy, will be available for consultation on congenital and structural heart diseases.
He will offer RBH patients advanced cardiac imaging which includes paediatric ECG, paediatric echocardiography and paediatric stress echocardiography.
Dr Giovanni has been a counsellor at the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) since 2014.
He brings vast experience in diagnosing, treating and managing congenital heart diseases and performing cardiovascular imaging for both children and adults.
“Most of the congenital heart diseases are structural,” said Dr Giovanni.
“They are linked to the structure of heart like walls, muscles or blood vessels.
“The advanced imaging techniques can confirm the condition successfully and it will help define the course of treatment required.
“These techniques are useful in both children and adults who were born with a heart ailment.”
Additionally, RBH will be conducting a continuous medical education programme on paediatric cardiology cases.
Topics to be discussed will include prenatal diagnosis, multimodality imaging in adult congenital heart diseases and neonatal jaundice presented by eminent doctors from both RBH and RBH Medical Centre.
