CARDIAC ANATOMY WORKSHOP
Pre-Registration Required - To master cardiovascular imaging, one must possess a very strong foundation in cardiac anatomy. Reinforcing anatomy is critically important to grasp anatomic relationships, structural and coronary artery disease, and cross-sectional imaging. This is a 2-hour cardiac dissection to highlight key aspects of anatomy to complement course didactics. By completion, you will have a stronger foundation in coronary anatomy, cardiac valves, and other key structures.
