WHY THIS COURSE HELPS
A complete echo review should connect images, calculations and clinical decisions.
Echocardiography review can become fragmented across physics, Doppler, valves and disease-specific interpretation. This curriculum brings those domains together in a structured path designed around the NBE examination format and practical clinical integration.
Scattered review materials
Moving between unrelated resources makes it difficult to build a coherent study plan.
Complex hemodynamics
Doppler measurements and pressure calculations require both principles and applied cases.
Broad clinical scope
Valves, cardiomyopathies, congenital disease, ischemia and systemic disease all need focused coverage.
Advanced techniques
Strain, TEE, 3-D and interventional echo demand more than a basic imaging overview.
OUR SOLUTION
A structured echocardiography curriculum spanning fundamentals, advanced imaging and case-based interpretation.
Review ultrasound physics, chamber function, Doppler hemodynamics, valvular and myocardial disease, stress echo, congenital pathology, structural interventions and newer techniques in one organized package.
VALUE HIGHLIGHT
One comprehensive package for board review and advanced echo study.
Recorded lectures, subtitle files and supporting PDFs make it easier to study selected topics, revisit complex concepts and follow the curriculum at your own pace.

A practical digital study package built for focused review.
• Recorded echocardiography lectures
• VTT subtitle files for easier follow-along review
• PDF course materials and supporting resources

About This Course
Mayo Clinic Echocardiography Online Board Review 2026 is a comprehensive, specialist-level program with a focused emphasis on the National Board of Echocardiography examination format. It covers the full field of echocardiography while consistently connecting imaging findings with clinical practice.
The curriculum moves from ultrasound physics, 2-D imaging, M-mode, chamber quantification and Doppler hemodynamics into valvular disease, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathies, pericardial disease, congenital heart disease and diseases of the aorta. It also includes newer and advanced techniques such as strain imaging, transesophageal echocardiography, 3-D echocardiography and interventional imaging.
What differentiates this course from a general cardiology update is its dedicated echo focus, NBE-oriented structure, detailed hemodynamic instruction and broad collection of workshops and case-based sessions.
