39th Annual Echo in Congenital Heart Disease: Prenatal, Pediatric, and Adult Cases Including Multimodality Imaging

COURSE LOCATION
Omni Rancho Las Palmas
41000 Bob Hope Drive
Rancho Mirage, CA 92270

COURSE OVERVIEW
This course will place special emphasis on the use of multimodality imaging, including "invasive" echo (TEE/ICE), in congenital heart disease. In addition, we will feature sessions devoted to prenatal cardiology and management of the pregnant patient with congenital heart disease.

The symposium will highlight the use of echocardiography and other cardiac imaging techniques to recognize, understand, and manage patients with congenital heart disease using a case-based format. This three/four day symposium is designed to provide a deeper understanding of the anatomy, clinical aspects, imaging, and management of patients with congenital heart disease. The symposium will include case discussions, didactic seminars, anatomic and imaging correlations, and discussions of multimodal imaging to illustrate the impact of cardiac imaging on treatment, diagnosis, and management of patients with congenital heart disease.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

• Describe the anatomy and physiology of common congenital cardiac conditions
• Describe the surgical/interventional procedures used to treat common congenital cardiac conditions
• Interpret 2-D echo/Doppler hemodynamics in the setting of congenital heart disease
• Recognize limitations and appropriate applications of echocardiography and other imaging techniques in CHD
• Recognize significant CHD in prenatal, pediatric and adult patients with CHD
• Apply novel imaging views to the evaluation of patients with CHD using transthoracic echocardiographic equipment
• Integrate the most up-to-date echocardiographic and multimodality imaging techniques into patient management

INTENDED AUDIENCE
This course is designed for adult and pediatric cardiologists, surgeons, fellows in training, and cardiac sonographers. The emphasis is on echocardiography, but topics will included both multimodality imaging and clinic management strategies.
