Assessing Diastolic Function in Cardiac Patients

Assessing Diastolic Function in Cardiac Patients is organized by Healthworks, Inc.

Accreditation:
This Course has been approved for a maximum of 1 CEU

Course Overview:
The portability and the non-invasive nature of echocardiography - along with recent advances in technology - make it a useful tool for evaluating diastolic function as Doppler echocardiography displays the phases of diastole, along with showing the progression of diastolic dysfunction, ranging from abnormal relaxation to restrictive filling. This course provides an overview of diastole, reviews ways of identifying diastolic dysfunction, and introduces the learner to tissue Doppler, color m-mode and how to assess pulmonary venous flow when using echocardiography.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
