Overview
What you will study
The Boston Structural Heart course offered by Harvard University will commence with a comprehensive masterclass in 3D imaging to educate attendees on the various applications of 3D imaging for SHD. Additional workshops will cover safety and staffing model related SHD topics, along with comprehensive education regarding imaging for interventions including transseptal puncture, mitral valve, tricuspid valve, aortic valve and left atrial appendage.
This course will be offered in a live virtual format from August 11th to August 13th. These workshops will take the form of didactic lectures, case-based discussions, as well as panel discussions to discuss key concepts. As a course aimed to provide the most practical aspects of echocardiography, what participants learn in the course today, they can use tomorrow.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- ultrasound physics and how it applies to 3D imaging, image formation, transducer design and multiplanar reconstruction
- room set-up and safety issues such as radiation safety for SHD interventions
- key fluoroscopic views used for SHD imaging and how these views correlate to echocardiography
- the intra-atrial septum and key imaging relating to trans-septal puncture with didactic lectures and also case examples with panel discussion
- imaging required for procedures involving the mitral valve, tricuspid valve and left atrial appendage
- the procedural steps involved in specific SHD interventions of the mitral valve, tricuspid valve, aortic valve and left atrial appendage
- current and future training for SHD imaging as well as future directions in SHD interventions including new and evolving therapies
