SUMMARY:Introduction to Adult Echocardiography
DESCRIPTION:Our Introduction to Adult Echocardiography course is desig
 ned to provide a strong foundation to perform and/or interpret adult c
 ardiac ultrasound examinations. The program is taught by leading echoc
 ardiography experts, and includes comprehensive lectures, interactive 
 case studies using an audience response system, and extensive hands on
  scanning featuring a 3:1 hands-on ratio using live models for the mos
 t hands on scan time.\nObjectives\n\nIncrease the participant’s know
 ledge to better perform and/or interpret Echocardiography examinations
 \nDemonstrate proper transducer manipulation and system optimization t
 o produce diagnostic images (sonographer) and recognize potential imag
 ing errors (Physician)\nDemonstrate routine scan protocols to evaluate
  an adult patient using 2D/M-Mode/Color Flow & Doppler echocardiograph
 ic techniques and demonstrate appropriate measurements\nIdentify norma
 l/abnormal characteristics of 2D cardiac anatomy and state the role of
  cardiac Doppler and list the necessary qualitative/quantitative measu
 rements\nIdentify the ultrasound findings associated with valvular hea
 rt disease, cardiomyopathies, ischemic heart disease, pericardial dise
 ase and cardiac masses\nList the latest imaging techniques in quantifi
 cation of right and left ventricle wall motion\nDocument findings and 
 apply standardized guidelines during compilation of an Echocardiograph
 y worksheet (sonographer) and dictated report (Physician)\nList the st
 eps necessary for system optimization during contrast echo imaging\nIn
 crease confidence to incorporate protocols, techniques & interpretatio
 n criteria to improve diagnostic/treatment accuracy\n\n \n\nTopics\n\
 nImaging Fundamentals\nAnatomy of the Heart and EKG\n2D Evaluation of 
 Cardiac Anatomy, Measurements, and Normal Values\nParasternal and Supr
 asternal Windows\nApical and Subcostal Windows\nDoppler Fundamentals &
  Color Doppler\nPulsed & Continuous Wave Doppler\nMitral & Aortic Valv
 es (Evaluation & Disease)\nCardiomyopathies\nGross Anatomy Workshop\nR
 ight Heart Disease\nCoronary Heart Dieases\nDiastolic Function/Contras
 t Echocardiography\nPericardial Disease & Cardiac Masses\n\n\nFor more
