Transthoracic Echocardiography

Develop a structured approach to transthoracic echocardiography.

This advanced course is designed for physicians and other healthcare professionals who want to develop their skills in transthoracic echocardiography and gain a more comprehensive understanding of cardiac assessment.

The course focuses on how to systematically obtain and interpret the essential echocardiographic views, perform key measurements, and assess cardiac structure, function, valves, and hemodynamics.

What you will learn

Throughout the course, we will cover:

• Essential echocardiographic views – learn how to systematically obtain parasternal, apical and subcostal views.
• Left ventricular assessment – evaluate LV dimensions, systolic function and ejection fraction.
• Diastolic function – learn the key measurements used to assess left ventricular diastolic function.
• Valvular assessment – develop a structured approach to evaluating the mitral, aortic and tricuspid valves.
• Right ventricular function – learn how to assess RV size and function using echocardiography.
• Hemodynamic assessment – measure stroke volume and cardiac output and understand their clinical application.
• Aorta and LV outflow tract – assess the aorta and perform relevant measurements of the LVOT.
• Inferior vena cava – learn how to obtain and assess the IVC from the subcostal view.
• Clinical cases – apply your echocardiographic knowledge and interpretation skills to real clinical cases.

Who is this course for?

Physicians and other healthcare professionals who already have a basic understanding of cardiac ultrasound and want to develop a more comprehensive and structured approach to transthoracic echocardiography.
