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 split by two weeks, the first day Wednesday 22nd January and second day Wednesday 12th February allowing some time to practice 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.
