Basic to Advanced Echocardiography | Island Ultrasound 2020

Basic to Advanced Echocardiography | Island Ultrasound is organized by Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular Medicine CME (CV CME) and will be held from May 13 - 16, 2020 at Marriott Hilton Head Resort & Spa, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, United States of America.

Intended Audience:
This course is intended for adult cardiologists, cardiac sonographers, cardiology fellows, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and those who have basic experience and knowledge of echocardiography. This course is designed to further advance their experience in clinical application of echocardiography.

Accreditation:
Credit Statement
Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science designates this live activity for a maximum of 23.25 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

ABIM MOC Points
Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn up to 23.25 Medical Knowledge MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine's (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program.

Course Description:
The course will begin with a discussion of echocardiographic assessment of left and right ventricular function, including presentations on diastolic function and strain imaging for assessing myocardial function. We will then discuss a broad range of disease states for which echocardiography is useful, including ischemic heart disease, valvular heart disease, pericardial disease, and cardiomyopathies. The presentations will include basic concepts as well as advanced techniques including 3-D imaging and strain imaging. Throughout the course many cases will be presented.

To reinforce the knowledge gained from the course and ensure lasting value to each attendee’s practice, Mayo Clinic provides access to all course presentations with voice-over recordings after the completion of the course.

Learning Objectives:
Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
• Apply Doppler principles and hemodynamics to the assessment of valvular heart disease, including systematic assessment of prosthetic valves
• Use 2-D, Doppler and strain methods to assess myocardial function
• Illustrate the appropriate use of echo Doppler in myocardial and pericardial disease
• Describe the utility of echocardiography, including 3-D transesophageal echocardiography, for the interventional practice
• Integrate echocardiography into the diagnosis and management of heart failure
• Recognize clinical applications of stress echocardiography.
