  • Brochure
  • Tests


Date & Location
Saturday, November 7, 2020, 12:00 PM - Friday, May 7, 2021, 11:59 PM

Target Audience
Specialties - Cardiovascular Disease, Nurse Practitioner, Nursing, Physician Assistant

Overview
Echo Northwestern is in its 42nd year and is the longest running echo course in the United States! Each year, there are three full days of interactive lectures and small group case presentations and discussion. The course faculty consists of renowned physicians and sonographers from Northwestern and from around the United States. This course will provide physicians and sonographers at all levels with the3 knowledge and insight into the application of basic and advanced echocardiographic techniques. Topics include valvular heart disease, interventional echo, heart failure, contrast echo, 3D echo, diastology, stress echo, cardio-oncology and more. By the end of the course, participants will have improved skills that can be immediately applied to everyday practice as well as an understanding of future applications.


Objectives
  1. Apply the recommendations for the echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricle function to clinical practice.
  2. Explain the role of echo in the treatment of heart failure.
  3. Use strain imaging to assess cardiac function in various pathological states.
  4. Discover methodology to assess diastolic function using the ASE diastology guidelines.
  5. Assess patients with valvular disorders using the most recent ACC/AHA guidelines for valvular heart disease and the ASE guidelines for the assessment of native valve regurgitation, native valve stenosis, prosthetic valve function and percutaneous devices.
  6. Recognize different echocardiographic methods to assess Right Ventricular structure function. Cite the strengths and weakness of these techniques including complementary technologies: CT and MRI.
  7. Discuss the clinical classification of pulmonary hypertension, its implications for the patient and how echo can help assessing its severity and guide management of patients with the condition.
  8. Evaluate how 3D echo works and express limitations and potential applications as it relates to daily practice and patient management.
  9. Assess the uses of echo contrast agents (imaging enhancing agents) and how to incorporate the use of the agents into a busy echo lab.
  10. Evaluate the role of echo in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with aortic stenosis.
  11. Recognize the pathology and the basics of echocardiographic assessment of patients with common congenital heart lesions.
  12. Review the role of echo in surgical and percutaneous treatments of aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation.
  13. Review the role of echo in new percutaneous treatment of tricuspid regurgitation.
  14. Review the role of echo in guiding other percutaneous procedures such as left atrial appendage closure.
  15. Appreciate the critical role of echo in the cardio-oncology patient.
