About SHDA
Structural Heart Disease Australia Inc. (SHDA) is an educational site focused on valvular and structural cardiac diseases. The website was started by a multidisciplinary group of echocardiographers, anaesthetists, clinical and interventional cardiologists, and cardiothoracic surgeons whom have incorporated an association to provide a useful learning resource for medical professionals. We organise and host a number of multidisciplinary symposiums throughout the year where experts in the field discuss issues from the diagnosis through to treatment and follow-up.
