Diastology and New Echo Technologies Summit
CME Group, April 2009
Diastology and New Echo Technologies Summit provides a unique opportunity for participants to view key opinion leaders and review updates in heart valve disease, diastology, new and emerging echo technologies, and contrast echocardiography.
Allan L. Klein, MD, FRCP(C), FACC, FAHA, FASE, Professor of Medicine, Director of Cardiovascular Imaging Research, Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Heart and Vascular Institute, Cleveland Clinic is the summit director.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is designed for cardiologists, sonographers, nurses, cardiology fellows, and other healthcare professionals interested in diastology, new echocardiographic technologies, contrast echocardiography, and heart valve disease.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
After viewing this activity, the participant will be able to do the following for each session:
HEART VALVE
- Describe state-of-the-art multimodality imaging in valvular heart disease
- Describe the natural history of mitral regurgitation and when to treat medically or surgically
- Discuss Doppler quantitative approaches to mitral regurgitation and aortic regurgitation
- Describe mechanisms and treatment of ischemic mitral regurgitation and aortic regurgitation
- Discuss surgical mitral and tricuspid valve repair
- Discuss new mechanisms and therapies for aortic stenosis
- Discuss the epidemiology of aortic regurgitation and when to intervene
- Describe percutaneous approaches to mitral and aortic diseases
DIASTOLOGY
- Discuss new advances in valvular heart disease including epidemiology, clinical diagnostic approaches to mitral, tricuspid, and aortic regurgitation and aortic stenosis
- Identify new approaches to aortic valve repair including robotic and percutaneous techniques
- Highlight new advances in diastolic heart failure including epidemiology, clinical diagnostic approaches, specific diseases, and effects of therapy for diastolic heart failure
- Examine recent and future clinical trials in Diastology
- Highlight new and emerging applications in real time 3-D and 4-D echo, live 3-D TEE, 2-D strain, torsion, stress echo, cardiac resynchronization, and interventional echo
- Present basic principles of contrast echo, rest and stress LVO and EBD, myocardial perfusion, and new research applications
- Discuss the revised black boxed warning in contrast echocardiography
NEW ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY TECHNOLOGIES
- Describe the role of 3-D and 4-D echo in clinical practice
- Discuss advances in transesophageal echo imaging including real-time imaging
- Discuss 2-D strain to assess cardiac function
- Describe the use of LV torsion in clinical practice
- Discuss the role of strain in stress echo
- Discuss the value of echo measurements of CRT
- Describe how to perform 3-D, CRT, strain and strain rate imaging and torsion by a sonographer
- Discuss the role of echo in percutaneous valve surgery and LAA closure
CONTRAST ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
- Describe the basics of contrast echocardiography, including the contrast and ultrasound interaction
- Discuss the various contrast imaging modalities, including low or high mechanical index
- Discuss the role of contrast in rest and with stress echo and salvaging the difficult echo
- Discuss how to do an LVO and myocardial perfusion exam
- Discuss the prognostic value of stress perfusion echo
- Describe techniques for reading perfusion at rest and stress in a busy echo lab
- Discuss how to interpret EBD, LVO, and myocardial perfusion
- Discuss new research developments including atherosclerosis imaging and targeted microbubbles
