Mayo Clinic is committed to taking care of our patients, learners and staff. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Mayo Clinic Department of Cardiovascular Medicine education is suspending live courses and conferences through December 31, 2020. Cases in Echocardiography, Cardiac CT, and MRI Course is organized by Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular Medicine CME (CV CME). The session is held from Oct 21 - 24, 2020 at The Meritage Resort and Spa, Napa, California, United States of America.  Intended Audience: The course is outlined for physicians and sonographers with an advanced background in echocardiography. Overview: This advanced course is intended to present the clinician and advanced sonographer with an update on thoracic, stress, and transesophageal echocardiography as well as cardiac CT and MRI. This is not a "how-to" course but rather will converge on the application of these modalities to clinical decision making. The session consists fundamentally of clinical cases which demonstrates the problems cardiovascular specialists commonly encounter. Multiple choice questions asking the clinical utility and limitations of echocardiography follow each case. Utilization of cardiac CT and MRI is also incorporated into the cases. In addition, faculty presents “rapid fire” and “unknown” cases.  Special breakout gatherings are dedicated to the interpretation of Doppler hemodynamics, diastolic function, stress echocardiography, congenital heart disease, interventional, heart failure, CT/MRI, and perioperative echocardiography. Attendees have the opportunity to share an interesting case with the faculty and audience. If you would like to share an interesting case, please make this available as an MPEG, AVI, or WMV file. The images should be deidentified. Please provide this case to the registration desk at check-in with a small written history of the patient. This session is created to encourage maximum audience participation and interaction with the faculty.  To reinforce the knowledge gained from the course and assure lasting value to each attendee’s practice, Mayo Clinic gives access to all course presentations with voice-over recordings after the completion of the course.
