Session 1: Getting the most out of your ultrasound machine

Image quality and optimisation are extremely important if you are to interpret your echocardiography images confidently. This session will give you the knowledge that you need to optimise your ultrasound images and get a clearer picture with your cases.


Session 2: Measuring and interpreting your echocardiography images

Accurate and repeatable measurement of echocardiography images is key to determining if an animal has heart disease, especially with those animals that need longitudinal follow up. In this session we will review commonly used measurements associated with right-sided views and discuss evaluation of systolic function.


Session 3: Echocardiography of acquired heart disease in the cat

Diastolic function is important to evaluate feline heart disease. In this session we will discuss interpretation of diastolic function together with how to diagnose the various forms of acquired feline heart disease.


Session 4: Echocardiography of acquired heart disease in the dog and miscellaneous heart diseases

Acquired heart disease is commonly identified in dogs. This session will review echocardiography of degenerative mitral valve disease and dilated cardiomyopathy. We will then go on to discuss more unusual presentations such as pericardial effusion, endocarditis and pulmonary hypertension.


Session 5: Echocardiography of congenital heart disease in cats and dogs

Congenital heart disease is frequently encountered in small animal practice. This session will review more common congenital diseases and their echocardiographic appearance. Focus will be on patent ductus arteriosus, pulmonic and aortic stenosis, valve dysplasia and septal defects.


Session 6: Case based integration

This final session will go through canine and feline cases pulling together everything you have learnt in this course. We’ll look at some of the patients that you’re likely to encounter in your practice.
