Learning Objectives

1. Apply echocardiography to assess the severity, mechanism, etiology, and hemodynamic impact of the many types of valve disease, including mitral regurgitation, mitral stenosis, aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation and tricuspid valve disorders.

2. Assess the most recent innovations in structural interventions and describe their clinical use.

3. Translate new guideline criteria on imaging into current decision-making regarding structural valve interventions, medical treatment and surgical valve repair/replacement.

4. Utilize echocardiographic imaging for imaging before, during and after interventional procedures, closure of periprosthetic leaks, valve-in-valve repair, left atrial appendage closure and tricuspid repair.

5. Provide an update on multimodality imaging techniques, including 3-D echocardiography, fusion imaging, strain imaging, MRI/CT as well as contrast echo.

6. Describe clinical methods to diagnose diastolic dysfunction and manage disorders such as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, cardiac amyloidosis, complicated pericarditis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

7. Define what artificial intelligence is and how to use it in clinical practice. 8. Discuss the clinical indications and emerging uses of contrast echocardiography.

Target Audience

Noninvasive and invasive cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, sonographers, nurses, fellows, cardiology nurse practitioners, and physician assistants.
