The Basic TTE course focuses on how to perform and interpret a transthoracic echocardiography study using 2-D and colour flow Doppler.

 

Additional learning includes basic hemodynamic state assessment, ventricular function and valve pathology, which have been categorized into those that are likely to cause hemodynamic compromise or those that may not.

 

By the end of this course, the participant will be exposed to a wide variety of cardiac pathology.
