Cases in Echocardiography, Cardiac CT, and MRI

The program consists primarily of clinical cases which illustrate the problems cardiovascular specialists commonly encounter. Multiple choice questions addressing 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 sessions are devoted to the interpretation of Doppler hemodynamics, stress echocardiography, multimodality imaging, and congenital heart disease.

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 course is designed to encourage maximum audience participation and interaction with the faculty.
