ULTRASOUND SOLUTIONS CORP. is pleased to present Jeffrey C. Hill, BS, ACS, FASE
Department Chair and Assistant Professor, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, for a half-day conference on Advanced Cardiac Topics.
Course Description
This half-day program includes the application, evaluation, and diagnosis of basic and advanced topics on echocardiography. The attendees will begin with an introduction to heart mechanics that are not obvious by standard 2D imaging. Examples will include the application of 2D rotational mechanics in healthy and diseased hearts. The program will continue with the challenges of diagnosing pericardial disease, including pitfalls and telltale echo findings to make the diagnosis. The second half of the program will focus on the dilemma in the assessment of diastolic function. The attendee will develop and apply standard 2D and Doppler criteria to improve the understanding and diagnosis of diastolic dysfunction. The program will conclude with the advanced application of speckle tracking strain imaging for the quantitative assessment of right heart function. (Approved for 4 SDMS CME Credits)
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this educational activity, the participant will be able to:
