Areas to be covered in this course are prosthetic valves, cardiac anatomy with relation to tumors, congenital anomalies, contrast enhancement with guidelines, interventional cardiac procedures and intracardiac devices, and cardiac catheterization. Cardiac medications and uses will be discussed.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1. Describe cardiac contrast uses, methods, rationale, standards, limitations, guidelines, and regulations.
2. Demonstrate the processes performed with the use of cardiac contrast.
3. Identify different cardiac pharmacologic medication uses, limitations, effects, contraindications, and methods of administration.
4. Identify different prosthetic valves, appearances, normal function and pathophysiologic effects of the diseased prosthetic valves.
5. Define different methods of prosthetic valve evaluation.
6. Describe and define cardiac masses, tumors, and the pathophysiologic effects of these disease processes.
7. Describe and identify congenital anomalies with various post-surgical appearances and the pathophysiologic effect of pre-surgical and post-surgical corrections.
8. Describe and identify intracardiac devices, shunts, cardiac assist devices, and procedures used related to the devices.
9. Identify the processes, needs, rationale, imagery and procedures used in cardiac catheterization procedures.
10. Understand differential diagnoses of pathologies covered in this course.
