Echo Revolution is designed to provide a practical review of the current uses and limitations of two-dimensional echocardiography, Doppler and color flow imaging in the assessment of adult myocardial, ischemic, pericardial, and valvular disease. Traditional topics in the field of echocardiography including assessment of systolic and diastolic function, quantitative Doppler and stress echocardiography will be presented. In addition, newer techniques including strain imaging and 3-D Echo and Doppler and 2D strain imaging will be discussed. The lectures will be illustrated with clinical case examples in echocardiography including an audience response system. Participants will have an opportunity to attend topic specific breakout sessions allowing participants the opportunity to focus on topics of interest and need.

Registration Fees:

MD, PhD, DO, PharmD$675
Sonographer, Resident, Fellow, RN, NP, PA$600

Course Objectives:

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

  • Apply Doppler principles and hemodynamics to the assessment of valvular heart disease and the systematic assessment of prosthetic valves, and appreciate the surgical implications of these findings.
  • Utilize appropriate methods of the quantitation of systolic function and practical assessment of diastolic function.
  • Recognize the impact of appropriate use criteria for the echo assessment of ischemic heart disease and understand the echocardiographic features of mechanical complications of myocardial infarction;
  • Utilize advanced echocardiography imagine techniques in identification and treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
  • Identify characteristic echocardiographic features of cardiac tumors and masses, their pathologic correlates, and how they can be differentiated from artifacts.
  • Recognize the potential and current utility of new technology
