It’s hard to believe…

that we’re already half way through April. So much has been happening around Zedu HQ that we’ve lost track – and we haven’t even hit half way yet! If you’re looking to get to a course or set up a 1-on-1 training session before the end of financial year get in touch – or you may miss out!

Things worth checking out in this week’s feed:

• European Heart Journal covers “Ultrasound-guided vs conventional venous puncture for atrial fibrillation ablation: the ULYSSES trial” (15 April)
• Echocardiography journal has a piece on “The Utility of Strain Echocardiography in the Diagnosis of Pediatric Myocarditis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis” (16 April).

Checking out for the weekend.

Keep your probes clean and the gel warm.

Mike and Suean

P.S. – Don’t forget to register for the Block it Like It’s Hot regional anaesthesia series – starting 28 April.
