COURSE DESCRIPTION

The course is designed to provide the sonographer with a practical review of the current uses and limitations of two-dimensional echocardiography, Doppler and color flow imaging in the assessment of valvular disease. Recent advances in the field of echocardiography including the assessment of systolic and diastolic function, quantitative Doppler, and stress echocardiography will be presented. The lectures will be illustrated with digital image presentations of clinical cases in echocardiography and time has been allowed for participants to ask questions as well as interact closely with the course faculty. An audience response system will be used during case presentations.

Interactive hemodynamic workshops and case review sessions will be conducted to allow participants the opportunity to apply the principles they are learning.

Participants will receive an electronic syllabus and hemodynamic guide for their future reference. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own calculators to maximize participation in the hemodynamic workshops.
