Echocardiography is one of the initial investigative clinical exams performed to assess the presence or absence of heart disease. This course will discuss different pathologies that affect the heart and how they present on ultrasound images and correlate these findings with the results from other modalities. The laboratory component of this course offers the opportunity of practical, hands-on experience to obtain the images and measurements required for a diagnostic echocardiogram. The course will also review the additional images that are required and the techniques to obtain them, when pathology is present.
