Echocardiography 2
This Echocardiography Course offers the opportunity to learn theoretical knowledge and develop the practical skills necessary for the use of transthoracic echocardiography in diagnostic investigation and disease treatment of cardiovascular disorders. During the course, participants will have the opportunity to develop their own echocardiographic skills and adapt the learning to their individual work experience and circumstances.
The Course includes a critical assessment of the role of echocardiography in clinical practice and a deepening of knowledge of echocardiographic instrumentation, Doppler physics, hemodynamics, anatomy and cardiovascular physiology and functional cardiac parameters. Course participants will also be able to perform hands-on exercises to refine the acquisition and interpretation of diagnostic images and learn the guidelines for a proper report of the echocardiographic examination.
