Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should be better able to:
– Explain the essential physical principles of cardiac ultrasound.
– Recognize common ultrasound artifacts and their genesis.
– Estimate systolic function using standard M-mode and 2D echocardiography, as well as newer modalities such as strain imaging and 3D echocardiography.
– Identify and quantitate valvular heart disease severity.
– Describe the application of Doppler in the assessment of hemodynamics and diastolic function.
– Perform clinically relevant calculations of valve areas and intracardiac pressures.
– Explain proven techniques for interpreting stress echocardiographic examinations.
– Differentiate features of cardiac tamponade, constrictive pericarditis and restrictive cardiomyopathy.
