Echo Revolution: Adult Echocardiography for Physicians and Sonographers

Echo Revolution: Adult Echocardiography for Physicians and Sonographers is a course that covers topics such as:

• Diastolic filling patterns in diverse cardiac disorders including systemic diseases, cardiomyopathies and pericardial disease
• Integrated approach to the assessment of valvular regurgitation and valvular stenosis, including quantitative assessment by the PISA method
• Two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and Doppler methods to assess left ventricular systolic function (ejection fraction, LV volumes, index of myocardial performance, cardiac output)
• Echo imaging and Doppler hemodynamic principles to the systematic assessment of prosthetic heart valves
• The role of echocardiography in the management and evaluation of the cardiomyopathies
• Echocardiographic findings of ischemic heart disease, including detection of mechanical complications of myocardial infarction, clinical applications and interpretation of stress echocardiography
• The potential of new technology in the field of echocardiography, including strain imaging and 3D imaging
