Description:
Global Advances in Echocardiography is a first of its kind collaboration between American and European based experts to discuss the latest in cardiac imaging. Critical interventions such as TAVR, TEER and valve replacement procedures are dependent of echocardiography for diagnosis, indications, monitoring and guidance. This development has transformed the role of imagers around the world, creating a specific need for training and specialized utilization of echocardiography techniques. Linda Gillam, MD combines with the internationally acclaimed Zurich Heart House-London Heart House to provide a wide range of perspectives regarding optimal practices and procedures for all who utilize this critical imaging tool. Worth 17 AMA PRA Category I Credits™, which meets Echocardiography Lab CME requirements.
Topics include: Valvular heart disease, transcatheter valve procedures, stress echocardiography, mitral valve stenosis and regurgitation, TEER, transventricular neochordal implantation, prosthetic valve assessment, atrial septal defects, patent foramen ovale, left atrial appendage, aortic stenosis and regurgitation, infective endocarditis, aortic dissection, imaging for acute mechanical circulatory support and much more.
Educational Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
1. Discuss the epidemiology and clinical evolution of transcatheter heart valve procedures.
2. Describe the many applications of stress echocardiography in valvular heart disease.
3. Explain echocardiography’s potential role in the closure of atrial septal defects and patent foramen ovale.
4. Discuss the utility of echocardiography for the guidance of tricuspid edgeto-edge repair.
5. Describe the impact and potential pitfalls inherent in echocardiographic assessment of aortic stenosis and regurgitation.
6. Illustrate echocardiography’s role in prosthetic valve assessment, as well as the detection and management of infective endocarditis.
