The target audience for this medical event is designed for the serious candidate for ACCE certification. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 18.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits/MOC points.

Work with expert level faculty to review the cognitive base of advanced critical care echocardiography (ACCE) relevant to the upcoming National Board of Echocardiography (NBE) Certification examination scheduled for January 15, 2019. This board review course is specifically designed for learners who are scheduled to take the examination and will focus on refining the mastery of image interpretation, clinical applications, and the knowledge base of ACCE.

Review key components of ACCE including:
• M mode, 2D, and Doppler physics
• Measurement of stroke volume/cardiac output (SV/CO)
• Assessment of left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) function
• Measurement of filling pressures and diastolic function
• Evaluation of valve function
• Determination of preload sensitivity
• Measurement of intracardiac pressures and flows
• Evaluation of heart-lung interactions
• Evaluation of pericardial disease
• Evaluation of catheters and devices
• Relevant components whole body ultrasonography

In addition to didactic lectures, the course will include an image-based review of complex cases and challenge the learner with hundreds of questions using sophisticated real-time ARS technology. The goal of this course is to best prepare the learner for the upcoming challenge of the NBE ACCE certification examination.
