▶︎ Course Description
▶︎ The Mayo Clinic Echocardiography Online Board Review course has a focused emphasis on the National Board of Echocardiography (NBE) examination format, covering the entire field of Echocardiography including ultrasound physics, 2-D and M-Mode, hemodynamics, valvular heart disease, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and cardiomyopathies, pericardial disease, congenital heart disease, and newer imaging techniques including strain and 3-D echocardiography. Well-known experts and recognized educators comprised primarily of Mayo Clinic faculty, in each field of echocardiography, will give in-depth didactic lectures pertaining particularly to the integration of echocardiographic data into clinical practice. The Echocardiography Online Board Review course is delivered through an online personalized learning gateway, enabling learners to take a pre-assessment to identify areas of strength and weakness, then direct their learning with personalized study recommendations that concentrate solely on areas where they need reinforcement.
📌 Course Learning Objectives
Upon conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- ✅ State basic physical principles of cardiovascular ultrasound and instrumentation
- ✅ Correlate cardiac gross pathology with echocardiographic images
- ✅ Integrate new echocardiographic techniques to enhance disease diagnosis
- ✅ Evaluate cardiac chamber size, left ventricular systolic and diastolic function and right ventricular systolic function
- ✅ Apply Doppler echocardiography in the assessment of cardiovascular hemodynamics
- ✅ Evaluate acute and chronic ischemic heart disease using standard and stress echocardiography
- ✅ Differentiate between the causes of heart failure
- ✅ Differentiate between causes of cardiomyopathies and pericardial disease
- ✅ Determine the presence, etiology, and severity of native and prosthetic valvular heart disease
- ✅ Recognize systemic disease with echocardiographic manifestations of cardiovascular involvement
- ✅ Determine the presence, etiology, and severity of diseases of the aorta based on echocardiographic testing
- ✅ Differentiate congenital pathology from normal physiology with echocardiographic imaging
🔴 Disclaimer
Participation in this Mayo Clinic educational activity does not indicate nor guarantee competence or proficiency in the performance of any procedures that may be discussed or taught in this course. You should be aware that substantive developments in the medical field covered by this recording may have occurred since the date of original release.
