Conference Description:

It has a focused emphasis on the NBE examination format covering the entire field of Echocardiography including ultrasound physics, 2D and M-Mode, hemodynamics, valvular heart disease, ischemic heart disease, heart failure and cardiomyopathies, pericardial disease, congenital heart disease, and newer imaging techniques including strain and 3-D echocardiography. Well-known experts and recognized educators, comprised of Mayo Clinic faculty in each field of echocardiography will give in-depth didactic lectures pertaining particularly to integration of echocardiographic data into clinical practice. Each lecture will include multiple choice type question and answer sessions facilitated by an audience response system. This course is also an excellent choice for individuals looking to refresh and replenish their echocardiography knowledge as it provides a comprehensive review of echocardiography with pearls and concepts required for the clinical practice of echocardiography.

COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

-State basic physical principles of cardiovascular ultrasound and instrumentation;
-Correlate cardiac gross pathology with echocardiographic images;
-Integrate new echocardiographic techniques to enhance disease diagnosis;
-Evaluate cardiac chamber size, left ventricular systolic and diastolic function and right ventricular systolic function;
-Apply Doppler echocardiography in the assessment of cardiovascular hemodynamics;
-Evaluate acute and chronic ischemic heart disease using standard and stress echocardiography;
-Differentiate between causes of heart failure;
-Differentiate between causes of cardiomyopathies and pericardial disease;
-Determine the presence, etiology, and severity of native and prosthetic valvular heart disease;
-Recognize systemic disease with echocardiographic manifestations of cardiovascular involvement
-Determine the presence, etiology, and severity of diseases of the aorta based on echocardiographic testing; and,
-Differentiate congenital pathology from normal physiology with echocardiographic imaging.
-Attendance at any Mayo Clinic course does not indicate or guarantee competence or proficiency in the skills, knowledge, or performance of any care or procedure(s) which may be discussed or taught in this course.

INTENDED AUDIENCE
This course is intended for cardiologists, echocardiographers, and cardiology fellows. Participants with working knowledge of echocardiographic techniques and applications will benefit most from this program.
