T he addition of M-Mode, two dimensional real time imaging, Doppler, col or flow, and now three and four dimensional imaging have all changed t he way echocardiography is practiced. Diastolic assessment and changes in nomenclature have even changed the language of Echo. This eight da y course covers echo from M-mode to 3-D. After completion you will be confident in choosing the proper tools to assess common pathological c onditions such as valvular abnormalities, systolic, and diastolic func tion. Development of a consistent protocol is mandatory to avoid missi ng pathology and our scan lab with state of the art equipment and low student instructor ratios will give you the time and opportunity to pr actice, practice, practice. Objectives At the completion of this cours e, the learner will be able to: • Explain normal cardiovascular anat omy and physiology and relate cardiovascular functions to disease. • Discuss cardiac mechanical and electrical physiology and relate this information from the echocardiogram to the basic electrocardiogram. †¢ Operate several ultrasound units for the production of 2-D, M-Mode a nd Doppler echocardiograms. • Perform an echocardiogram using the pr otocol defined by the American Society of Echocardiography, i.e. paras ternal long and short, apical 2, 4, 5, and long, and subcostal long an d short axis. • Quantitatively analyze the results of 2-D and M-Mode echocardiogram. • Analyze the results of an echocardiogram for norm al versus abnormal findings. • Analyze echocardiograms for common ca rdiac pathologies. • Identify and resolve basic technique and equipm ent problems that interfere with the quality of studies. • Define th e clinical responsibilities of an echocardiographer who is confronted with significant clinical findings. • Conduct a basic patient histor y and assessment that relates to interpretation of echocardiographic f indings. • Operate several cardiac ultrasound instruments and apply various types of cardiac Doppler; pulse wave, continuous wave and colo r flow mapping. * Describe the normal cardiovascular blood flow throug h the heart and the great vessels as defined by Doppler velocity measu rements and profiles. • Quantify Doppler findings in echocardiograph y. • Analyze common cardiac Doppler findings for common cardiac path ologies. • Identify the diseases or cardiac pathologies that require definition by Doppler examination.
