Echocardiographic Evaluation of Pericardial Effusions and Cardiac Masses

Echocardiographic Evaluation of Pericardial Effusions and Cardiac Masses is organized by Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute (GCUS) Inc. and will be held from Jan 07, 2020 - Jan 07, 2023.

Course Description:
The echocardiographic Evaluation of Pericardial Effusions and Cardiac Masses Training Video is designed to provide an introduction to the 2D evaluation of pericardial effusion and commonly seen cardiac masses.

Topics:
• Etiology of pericardial effusion
• Clinical presentation with pericardial effusion
• Size & type of pericardial effusion
• Echo characteristics of pericardial effusion
• Differentiation of pleural versus pericardial fluid
• Echo characteristics of tamponade; constrictive pericardial disease
• Primary benign intracardiac tumors: primary malignant intracardiac tumors
• Secondary (metastatic) intracardiac tumors
• Echo characterization of cardiac tumors; case studies

Conference Objectives are :
• Increase the participant’s knowledge to better perform and/or interpret pericardial effusions and cardiac masses with echocardiography
• Identify the ultrasound findings associated with pericardial disease and cardiac masses

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
