DMSU 206 Echocardiography II

In this course, students will focus on abnormal anatomy, cardiac measurement, new dynamics, and case-study presentations. This course includes the cardiovascular assessment techniques for both trans-thoracic and transesophageal echocardiography. There will be focused concentration toward measurement utilization of M-mode, pulsed and continuous wave Doppler as well as color Doppler applications in the two-dimensional echocardiography examination of the adult heart.
