Birth of IAE Karnataka Chapter
IAE Karnataka chapter was formed in the year 2004, at the then Hotel Atria. Till that time PG students, cardiologists and those interested in echocardiography in Karnataka used to update their knowledge of echocardiography by attending the workshops and conferences of National IAE. Occasionally CSI Bengaluru chapter organized CME’s & workshops on echocardiography. When IAE-Karnataka was formed, on one side, majority of cardiologists and echocardiography sonographers were in the learning phase and on the other side, a lot of advancement was taking place in the field of echocardiography.
