Course overview

The aim of this course is to provide students with detailed knowledge of cardiac haemodynamics and the application of this to complex valvular disease.

Course learning outcomes

  • Apply advanced haemodynamics in the assessment of valvular heart disease and prosthetic heart valve function across a range of clinical scenarios.
  • Analyse and interpret advanced haemodynamic calculations to determine the severity of various valvular lesions.
  • Research and discuss in detail common aetiologies and echocardiographic features of mitral, aortic, tricuspid and pulmonic stenosis and regurgitation.
  • Apply advanced clinical assessment methods to rate the severity of valvular disease, including the evaluation of post prosthetic/ percutaneous valve replacement and valvular repair.
  • Explain the haemodynamic effects (early and late) of valvular disease on the cardiovascular system, including the signs and symptoms of significant valvular disease.
  • Discuss, in detail, diseases affecting the aorta including dissection, aneurysm and coarctation, their echocardiographic appearance and methods of assessing their severity.
  • Demonstrate continual progression through supervised clinical training requirements.
