The Intensive Practical Echocardiography Course provides healthcare professionals with comprehensive hands-on training to strengthen their echocardiography skills and clinical decision-making. Designed with a strong focus on real-world practice, the course highlights essential techniques, common clinical scenarios, and key workplace applications. Participants will develop the confidence and expertise needed to effectively integrate echocardiography into their daily practice and contribute to improved patient outcomes within their departments.
Day One: 3 July 2026
Day Two: 4 July 2026
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
1. Acquire all standard TTE views with diagnostic-quality images in at least 90% of supervised scans.
2. Quantify LV and RV size and systolic function using ASE-recommended methods with ≥85% accuracy.
3. Assess valve stenosis and regurgitation severity using 2D and Doppler criteria with ≥85% accuracy on case-based exams.
4. Detect pericardial and pleural effusions and identify tamponade signs in at least 90% of diagnostic cases.
5. Perform a focused emergency echo protocol (FATE/RUSH) within 5 minutes and make the correct triage decision with ≥85% accuracy.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Demonstrate proficiency in acquiring standard echocardiographic views and optimize image quality for diagnostic interpretation.
- Accurately measure and interpret cardiac chamber dimensions and systolic function using standard echocardiographic parameters in accordance with ASE guidelines.
- Evaluate native valvular heart disease and determine the severity of stenosis and regurgitation through integrated 2D and Doppler echocardiographic assessment.
- Identify pericardial and pleural effusions and recognize echocardiographic signs of cardiac tamponade to support timely clinical decision-making.
- Perform a focused emergency echocardiography examination (FATE/RUSH) and utilize findings to guide rapid patient triage and management in acute care settings.
