Dear Colleagues,
It is our genuine pleasure to invite you to Fetal Cardio Cracow 2026 — an international course dedicated entirely to fetal echocardiography. Over the past years this course has evolved into one of the focal points of our educational calendar, bringing together physicians from across Europe and beyond who share our conviction that fetal cardiac diagnosis is, above all, a hands-on craft.
Our intent throughout these three days is simple: to give every participant meaningful time at the probe, on real patients, with direct supervision and immediate feedback. Lectures are kept disciplined and clinically anchored; the most demanding work happens in the scanning rooms and during live examinations.
We are deeply grateful that Prof. Jacek Kołcz — a paediatric cardiac surgeon of international standing — will once again moderate the live fetal heart sessions and share the surgical perspective on the anomalies we discuss. His presence anchors the course in real clinical consequence, where prenatal imaging meets postnatal management.
Whether you are new to fetal echocardiography or an experienced sonographer looking to refine your approach to complex anomalies, we hope you will find these three days worthwhile, demanding, and — above all — useful in your practice on Monday morning.
With warm regards and a clinical handshake,
Prof. Marcin Wiecheć, MD, PhD, DSc
Course Director
Dr. Agnieszka Nocuń, MD, PhD
Course Director
