COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course will begin with a discussion of echocardiographic assessment of left and right ventricular function, including presentations on diastolic function and strain imaging for assessing myocardial function. We will then discuss a broad range of disease states for which echocardiography is useful, including ischemic heart disease, valvular heart disease, pericardial disease, and cardiomyopathies. The presentations will include basic concepts as well as advanced techniques including 3-D imaging and strain imaging. Throughout the course many cases will be presented.

UNIQUE COURSE FEATURES

Faculty members are clinical sonographers and echocardiologists
Easy access to faculty members during the entire conference
Afternoon on pediatric/adult congenital echocardiography
Presentations involving multimodality imaging

COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

Apply Doppler principles and hemodynamics to the assessment of valvular heart disease
Use 2-D, Doppler and strain methods to assess myocardial function
Illustrate the appropriate use of echo Doppler in myocardial and pericardial disease
Describe the utility of echocardiography, including 3-D transesophageal echocardiography, for the interventional practice
Integrate echocardiography into the diagnosis and management of heart failure

INTENDED AUDIENCE
This course is intended for adult cardiologists, cardiology fellows, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and cardiac sonographers who have basic experience and knowledge of echocardiography. This course is designed to further advance their experience in clinical application of echocardiography.
