Th e addition of M-Mode, two dimensional real time imaging, Doppler, colo r flow, and now three and four dimensional imaging have all changed th e way echocardiography is practiced. Diastolic assessment and changes in nomenclature have even changed the language of Echo. This eight day course covers echo from M-mode to 3-D. After completion you will be c onfident in choosing the proper tools to assess common pathological co nditions such as valvular abnormalities, systolic, and diastolic funct ion. Development of a consistent protocol is mandatory to avoid missin g pathology and our scan lab with state of the art equipment and low s tudent instructor ratios will give you the time and opportunity to pra ctice, practice, practice. Objectives At the completion of this course , the learner will be able to: • Explain normal cardiovascular anato my and physiology and relate cardiovascular functions to disease. • Discuss cardiac mechanical and electrical physiology and relate this i nformation from the echocardiogram to the basic electrocardiogram. • Operate several ultrasound units for the production of 2-D, M-Mode an d Doppler echocardiograms. • Perform an echocardiogram using the pro tocol defined by the American Society of Echocardiography, i.e. parast ernal long and short, apical 2, 4, 5, and long, and subcostal long and short axis. • Quantitatively analyze the results of 2-D and M-Mode echocardiogram. • Analyze the results of an echocardiogram for norma l versus abnormal findings. • Analyze echocardiograms for common car diac pathologies. • Identify and resolve basic technique and equipme nt problems that interfere with the quality of studies. • Define the clinical responsibilities of an echocardiographer who is confronted w ith significant clinical findings. • Conduct a basic patient history and assessment that relates to interpretation of echocardiographic fi ndings. • Operate several cardiac ultrasound instruments and apply v arious types of cardiac Doppler; pulse wave, continuous wave and color flow mapping. * Describe the normal cardiovascular blood flow through the heart and the great vessels as defined by Doppler velocity measur ements and profiles. • Quantify Doppler findings in echocardiography . • Analyze common cardiac Doppler findings for common cardiac patho logies. • Identify the diseases or cardiac pathologies that require definition by Doppler examination. Course Topics • Ultrasound Physic s and Instrumentation • Cardiovascular Anatomy and Physiology and EK G • Equipment Orientation • Anatomy and Physiology and Cardiac Cat heterization • 2-D Imaging • M-Mode • Acquired Heart Disease • Congenital Heart Disease • Doppler Instrumentation and Controls • Doppler Normals • Cardiac Quantification • Cardiac Doppler in Dis ease • Special Procedures • Contrast Echocardiography Target Audie nce Physicians who want to learn basic echocardiography procedure skil ls and entry level interpretation.
