PREREQUISITES: DMSI 139
PROGRAM: Diagnostic Medical Sonography
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 2
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 1
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
TOTAL CONTACT HOURS MIN: 3
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall 2022
This course will continue to build on the principles learned in Cardiac Sonography I, II and III with a review of cardiac anatomy. Pericardial disease, pulmonary hypertension, endocardial disease, aortic and great vessel disease, coronary artery or ischemic disease will be covered and discussed.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1. Describe and understand the methods of evaluation of pericardial disease, endocardial pathologies and the pathophysiologic effects of the diseases.
2. Describe the appearance and pathophysiologic effects of pulmonary hypertension and coronary artery disease as well as the methods of evaluation.
3. Understand and demonstrate the normal great vessel evaluation as well as recognize pathophysiologic effects and demonstrate methods of pathology evaluation.
4. Understand the rationale and methods for obtaining measurements to quantify the flow in the normal and abnormal heart.
5. Demonstrate an understanding of differential diagnoses of pathologies covered in this course.
COURSE CONTENT: Topical areas of study include - Sonographic quantitative and qualitative methods of cardiac evaluation
Sonographic evaluation of pericardial and endocardial diseases
Sonographic evaluation cardiac ischemic disease and pulmonary hypertension
Sonographic evaluation of diseases of pulmonary vasculature and great vessels
Study of pathophysiologic effects of disease on the heart
