2003 Annual Meeting
Silver Anniversary
Celebrating 25 Years


Program
Saturday, April 26, 2003 • Afternoon Workshops
 

Echo Imaging and Anatomic Correlates
Co-Chairs: Katherine Grichnik, MD/Patricia Murphy, MD
Educational Objective: At the conclusion of this workshop the participant will have a good knowledge of normal anatomy and the practical aspects of completing a basic TEE exam. The participant will also gain some understanding of how common congenital variants arise from embryological changes and how to recognize these variants in clinical practice. In addition the participant will also learn how to recognize common artifacts and machine problems seen in routine TEE practice. This workshop is designed for the beginner to intermediate echocardiographer.

1:00 1:40 pm

Normal Exam and Anatomy

1:45-2:25 pm

Embryology and Variants
Katherine Grichnik
, MD

2:30-3:10 pm

Common Congenital Defects
Patricia Murphy, MD

3:15- 4:00 pm

Incorporating New Echo Technologies into Practice
Chair: Lori B. Heller, MD
Educational Objective: Upon completing this workshop, participants will have been exposed to a variety of new echocardiography devices and understand their usefulness and applications. Specifically, participants will: 1) recognize the value of transthoracic echocardiography in the perioperative period; 2) be able to obtain basic transthoracic images using portable, hand-held echocardiography devices; 3) be familiar with substernal epicardial echocardiography imaging via the SEE IT mediastinal drain; 4) understand the application of Tissue Doppler Imaging in transesophageal echo; 5) appreciate the usefulness as well as the limitations in using TDI to assess systolic and diastolic myocardial function; 6) learn how to obtain and interpret epiaortic images during cardiac surgery and use this tool to direct cross clamp placement; 7) gain knowledge of myocardial contrast echocardiography and understand its usefulness in evaluating myocardial perfusion; 8) be exposed to intraoperative echocardiographic imaging of coronary arteries and graft anastomosis via epicardial echocardiography.
