Course Overview
This distance education course is a continuation of ECHO 5102. Applied Echocardiography 2 provides an extensive study of cardiac pathology as viewed with ultrasound. Module 1 expands on systolic and diastolic indices of performance for the left ventricle. The next four modules cover valvular disease, including prosthetic valves. Modules 6 through 9 cover non-valvular pathology such as coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, pericardial disease and cardiac masses. The course concludes with a module on congenital heart disease as seen in the adult patient.

- Describe the sonographic findings associated with each pathology in this course.
- Describe the hemodynamic basis for all 2-D and Doppler findings.
- Predict typical velocities through valves and abnormalities based upon the hemodynamic principles.
- Describe the protocol for the measurements required for quantification of pathology.
- Differentiate normal from abnormal values.
