Cardiac Modeling + Model Animal Ultrasound Hands-On Training (Xi'an) – Registration Open
"In cardiovascular disease research, the transverse aortic constriction (TAC) model is a classic animal model for studying pressure overload-induced myocardial hypertrophy and its progression to heart failure."
However, surgical bleeding, pneumothorax, model instability, and confusion over ultrasound evaluation parameters remain major obstacles for many researchers.
June 27–28, Xi'an
Yiren Hengye, in collaboration with senior experts from the Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases of the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University,
proudly presents the "Cardiac Modeling + Model Animal Ultrasound Image Acquisition Hands-On Workshop"
With a strong emphasis on hands-on practice and dual mentoring, this two-day program addresses the core challenges—from model establishment to evaluation.
I. Training Overview
Date: June 27–28, 2026 (2 days)
Location: Xi'an (near Keji Road subway station; exact venue will be notified after registration)
Fee: 2,500 RMB per person (includes two days of lunch; accommodation not included)
