COURSE DESCRIPTION
The 23rd Annual State-of-the-Art Echo course has been deployed by Mayo Clinic in Collaboration with Columbia Medical Center to provide the most recent as well as traditionally established guidelines for evaluation of cardiac structure, function, and hemodynamics which are essential for patient management and cardiac clinical trials. This course will familiarize attendees with recent technological advances in the field. Nationally renowned experts in echocardiography, valvular heart disease, and new imaging modalities will present the most up-to-date information, with live case demostations of basiz and advances echocardiography modalities (2-D, 3-D, Doppler hemodynamics, and strain imaging). The meeting will start with a half day special session on POCUS and hemodynamic workshops. At the end of each day, the faculty will share interesting and educational cases with the audience. Sufficient time will be allocated to discussion at each session where the attendees can provide input and also ask questions. The participants are encouraged to interact with the faculty members and also the industry partners.

COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Cite the current status of surgical and trans-catheter valve and device implantation and how to assess their hemodynamics as well as structures and functions according to the newest guidelines
• Recognize the utility of transesophageal and 3-D imaging in management decisions in the interventional lab, operating room, and intensive care unit
