AzSE's 1st Annual Echocardiography Symposium

When:   Saturday, January 17th , 2004

Where:   Airport Marriott - Loop 202 and 44th Street, Phoenix

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The symposium is designed for clinicians and sonographers who are actively involved in the practice of echocardiography. The symposium will consist of lecture and workshop sessions designed to introduce relevant clinical issues, provide a comprehensive review in state-of-the-art echocardiography applications and techniques, and encourage discussion by the presenters and the audience.

Topics to be covered include transthoracic 2-D and Doppler echocardiography, contrast and stress echocardiography, hemodynamics and diastology, and pediatric echocardiography with emphasis on their application to clinical practice. Upon completion of this program, attendees should be able to:

  • Recognize the role of 2-D, Doppler, and Color Flow, in the evaluation of hemodynamic parameters and diastolic function.

  • Appraise the current and potential clinical uses of contrast echocardiography.

  • Discuss the current and future use of echocardiography in the assessment of pediatric and congenital abnormalities.
