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.\n\nObjectives\n\nIncrease the participant’s kn
 owledge to better perform and/or interpret Echocardiography examinatio
 ns\nDemonstrate proper transducer manipulation and system optimization
  to produce diagnostic images (sonographer) and recognize potential im
 aging errors (Physician)\nDemonstrate routine scan protocols to evalua
 te an adult patient using 2D/M-Mode/Color Flow & Doppler echocardiogra
 phic techniques and demonstrate appropriate measurements\nIdentify nor
 mal/abnormal characteristics of 2D cardiac anatomy and state the role 
 of cardiac Doppler and list the necessary qualitative/quantitative mea
 surements\nIdentify the ultrasound findings associated with valvular h
 eart disease, cardiomyopathies, ischemic heart disease, pericardial di
 sease and cardiac masses\nList the latest imaging techniques in quanti
 fication of right and left ventricle wall motion\nDocument findings an
 d apply standardized guidelines during compilation of an Echocardiogra
 phy worksheet (sonographer) and dictated report (Physician)\nList the 
 steps necessary for system optimization during contrast echo imaging\n
 Increase confidence to incorporate protocols, techniques & interpretat
 ion criteria to improve diagnostic/treatment accuracy\n\n \n\nTopics\
 n\nImaging Fundamentals\nAnatomy of the Heart and EKG\n2D Evaluation o
 f Cardiac Anatomy, Measurements, and Normal Values\nParasternal and Su
 prasternal Windows\nApical and Subcostal Windows\nDoppler Fundamentals
