Upon conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- State basic physical principles of ultrasound and instrumentation.
- Correlate cardiac gross pathology with echocardiographic images.
- Integrate new echocardiographic techniques to enhance disease diagnosis.
- Apply Doppler echocardiography in the assessment of cardiovascular hemodynamics.
- Evaluate acute and chronic ischemic heart disease using standard and stress echocardiography.
- Differentiate between causes of heart failure, cardiomyopathies, and pericardial disease.
- Determine the presence, etiology, and severity of native and prosthetic valvular heart disease.
- Connect systemic disease with echocardiographic manifestations of cardiovascular involvement.
- Determine the presence, etiology, and severity of diseases of the aorta based on echocardiographic testing.
- Differentiate congenital pathology from normal physiology with echocardiographic imaging.
- Evaluate cardiac chamber size, left ventricular systolic and diastolic function and right ventricular systolic function.
Target Audience
This enduring program is designed for, but not limited to, cardiologists, echocardiographers, anesthesiologists, cardiac surgeons, and cardiology fellows. Participants with working knowledge of echocardiographic techniques and applications will benefit most from this program.
