Identify the key criteria for successful Mitraclip procedure. Know absolute and relative contraindications for Mitraclip procedure. Review...CVSP093VILT
Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) has become an alternative to surgical myectomy in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy since it was first introduced in 1994 by Sigwart. The procedure alleviates symptoms by producing a limited infarction of the upper interventricular septum, resulting in a...CVSP114VILT
There has been a gradual transition in the epidemiology of mitral stenosis (MS) in the Western world, with rheumatic disease in rapid decline and increasing recognition of degenerative mitral annular calcification (MAC)–related MS in the elderly. While valvuloplasty remains a well-known...CVSP113VILT
Compared to native valves, echocardiographic evaluation of prosthetic heart valves (PHV) is certainly more complex, both for the examination and the interpretation. In clinical practice, a comprehensive approach that integrates several parameters of valve morphology and function assessed with 2D...CVSP116VILT
This educational activity will review the importance of understanding the use of Doppler echocardiography to measure pressures within the heart noninvasively. This class will review different hemodynamic formulas for calculating pressures. Explain how to use the calculated pressures to help make...CVSP003VILT
The LAA is the most common site of thrombus formation in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. In nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, percutaneous LAA occlusion/exclusion is an alternative method of thromboembolism prevention for patients who are either ineligible for or too high risk to receive...CVSP117VILT
This course will review the carpentier classification. Describe the algorithm and work up for mitral regurgitation. Review TTE/TEE imaging techniques and software used to evaluate mitral regurgitation during: 1. Pre-op work up 2. During MitraClip deployment 3. Post...CVSP090VILT
This course will review the differences between Rheumatic mitral valve stenosis and mitral annular calcification. Explain the algorithms and work up for both entities. Describe the different transcatheter approaches to treating both entities. Review the role of TEE guidance during balloon mitral...CVSP088VILT
This one hour course discusses the utility of MultiVue during TEE proceduresCVSP091VILT
Virtual training is a facilitator-led, live online learning event that is delivered in a virtual environment. Participants can be geographically dispersed and also individually connected. Each learner uses their own computer or other compatible device. Virtual training is synchronous, meaning...CV130VILT
This educational activity will review the importance of understanding the different types of cardiac masses seen by echocardiography. This class will review key echo features of the different types of cardiac masses. The participant will also have an understanding of the normal anatomical...CVSP002VILT
This educational activity will explain the important use of echocardiography in the assessment of diastolic dysfunction. Show the key echo techniques and tools used to evaluate diastolic dysfunction and left atrial pressure. Review current guidelines for the evaluation and quantification of...CVSP001VILT
The cardiomyopathy course will focus on the key cardiomyopathic condition to which strain has evidence based medicine data. This module will also outline the steps to develop and maintain an active strain protocol in your institution. Virtual training is a facilitator-led, live online...CVSP005VILT
The valvular disease pathway will focus on valvular conditions to which strain has both predictive and prognostic implications. This module will also include discussion regarding the role of strain in novel, minimally invasive valvular corrective procedures (eg. TAVR, Mitra-Clip) Virtual...CVSP006VILT
The arrhythmia pathway will focus on the nuances of arrhythmia management with regard to GLS. In many cases, this module will overlap with other modules given the specifics of arrhythmia management will be predicated on the underlying disease. Virtual training is a facilitator-led, live...CVSP007VILT
Explain the anatomical relationship between the right ventricle and the tricuspid valve apparatus. Review the anatomy of the tricuspid valve. Explain the algorithm and work up for tricuspid regurgitation. Describe imaging techniques and imaging planes for tricuspid regurgitation both TTE and TEE...CVSP089VILT
This section will cover a host of topics such as pericardial disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension, sepsis, perioperative management, stress testing and many other topics to which strain is emerging to be a beneficial adjunctive tool. Virtual training is a facilitator-led, live online...CVSP008VILT
With transcatheter therapy becoming an ever-increasing role in the Echo Lab, proper evaluation post-TAVR and Mitra-clip becomes an integral part in the patient's care.
