Target Audience and Course Objectives

This course is designed for adult and pediatric cardiac sonographers, fellows in training, pediatric and adult cardiologists and sonography students embarking on a career in pediatric cardiac sonography. Participants should have a basic understanding of echocardiography. Upon conclusion of this educational meeting attendees should have improved their ability to:

• Recognize echocardiographic features of various congenital heart abnormalities
• Identify surgical repairs and/or palliations for the covered congenital cardiac lesions
• Apply anatomic knowledge to the performance and/or interpretation of echocardiograms in adult patients presenting with congenital heart defects
• Comprehend the limitations of echocardiography and the need for multi-modality imaging
• Incorporate discussed imaging techniques to assess congenital heart lesions into daily practice
