Key Areas Ultrasound physics, artefacts and equipmentEchocardiographic techniqueEchocardiographic changes in common acquired cardiac disease Echocardiographic measurementsEcho changes associated with left sided heart diseaseEcho changes associated with right sided heart diseaseMystery casesPractical hands-on workshop About this course Have an ultrasound machine in your practice, but reluctant to use it to image the heart? Already doing abdominal ultrasound, but nervous to go north of the diaphragm?This course is designed to provide participants with the foundations required to perform a basic echocardiographic examination, and a protocol to follow to obtain standard two-dimensional echocardiography (2D echo) images. You will learn how to identify normal cardiac anatomy and normal variations on 2D echo, as well as changes seen with common diseases. This forms the backbone of all echocardiography. This is a two-day course with a month between day 1 and day 2 to allow you to practise in between!Why do this course?This course will provide you with the means to make clinical decisions in cardiac patients that are very challenging without echocardiography.Please note this is a popular course with limited spaces so book early to avoid disappointment.
