The document introduces a course on echocardiography led by Clifford Thornton, focusing on the purpose, application, and findings of echocardiograms. It highlights essential topics such as basic cardiac anatomy, various echocardiographic techniques, and key clinical indications for performing echocardiograms. Participants are expected to engage actively in the learning process and apply their knowledge in hands-on scanning sessions.

- 1. TRAINING INSTITUTE Introduction to Echocardiography Presented by Clifford Thornton, RDCS, B.S.
- 2. ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY2 GOALS FOR COURSE • Develop a basic understanding of the purpose, application, and key findings of an echocardiogram in the clinical setting • Gain a fundamental understanding of the anatomy of the heart and its perspective in the standard 2D Echo views • Gain a fundamental understanding of 2D imaging, M-Mode, spectral doppler, and color-flow doppler and how it pertains to a standard 2D Echo • Learn and apply key 2D, M-Mode, sprectral doppler, and color-flow • Learn and apply the standard echo protocol • Learn and apply cardiac hemodynamic concepts • Learn and apply knobology and image optimization

- 4. Echo Book we’ll be using • Textbook of Clinical Echocardiography – Otto, 3rd Edition – Elsevier Saunders publishing ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY4
- 5. What I expect from you: • Your full attention when speaking (please turn cell phones off or put on vibrate) • Courtesy and respect to your fellow students • Participation – let me know if I’m going too fast/slow, respond to questions, Be engaged! • Focus – use active listening when concepts are being presented • Hands-on scanning – again focus on obtaining the views as instructed and applying learnings from lectures ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY5
- 6. Why perform an Echo? • Key reasons to perform an echo: – Abnormal EKG (i.e. bradycardia, tachycardia, arrhythmia, atrial-fibrillation, aortic stenosis, valvular regurgitation/murmur) – Assess ejection fraction (EF%) (% of blood ejected from the left ventricle every heart beat) – Post Myocardial infarction (MI)/heart attack • Check changes in heart wall motion/assess damage – Cardiac assessment pre-operation – Stroke – assess cardiac changes – Valvular lesions (i.e. regurg, MV prolapse, etc.) ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY6
- 7. Key Findings from an Echo: • Ejection Fraction (%) – Normal between (50-75%) • Size of heart chambers – Left ventricle (in diastole and systole) – Right ventricle (in diastole) – Left/Right atriums – Aortic root, Inferior Vena Cava, Pulmonary artery • Assessment of valvular structures – Mitral valve, aortic valve, pulmonic valve and tricuspid valves • Assessment of regurgitation for all valves (i.e. mild, moderate, severe regurg) • Doppler – blood velocities through valves and pressure gradients ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY7
