This module teaches you how to identify and assess the sonographic appearance of heart valve pathology and valve replacements. The text describes basic physiology and pathology of the mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary valves, including signs and symptoms, and the video provides examples of various valvular pathologies. This module is ideal if you are studying for the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) registry exams.
You’ll learn
- identify and describe the sonographic appearance of prosthetic valve replacements on echocardiograms.
- different pathology that may affect the heart valves
- to better visualize and understand the anatomy and physiology of the heart valves, with our 3D model and illustrations
- identify the sonographic appearance of mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary valve pathology
- and more (see “Content Details” for more specific information).
