Advanced Cardiology
Advanced Cardiology
Description:
This advanced cardiology course will cover color and spectral Doppler of the heart. Topics will cover applications of Doppler in acquired and congenital heart diseases of the dog and cat.
Target Group:
This course is intended for veterinarians already competent in basic two dimensional and M-mode echocardiography.
Seminar Objective:
- Be familiar with and obtain standard Doppler imaging planes
- Recognize Normal color and spectral Doppler patterns
- Understand and utilize calculated pressure gradients in both acquired and congenital heart disease
- Assess diastolic function and parameters of LV filling pressure
- Estimate pulmonary arterial pressures using Doppler and complimentary echocardiographic parameters of hypertension
- Evaluation of right ventricular function
Speakers:
June Boon
Ms. Boon helped start the ultrasound programs at the Veterinary Teacing Hospital in 1979. In 1980 she focused her intersts on cardiac ultrasound and proceeded to publish normal echcocardiographic reference ranges in dogs and cats. She received her graduate degree in Clinical Sciences at Colorado State University in 1984. She published the first and only reference book devoted to veterinary echocardiography in 1998. Veterinarians worldwide come to Colorado State University to receive training in echocardiography from the faculty, residents and staff in the Cardiology Department.
