Workshop Description: “My worst echo nightmares IX” is the 9th annual workshop that uses a case based approach with echocardiographic evaluation of interesting pathologies and life threatening cardiac emergencies. The workshop focuses on difficult and interesting cases related to: 1) valvular heart disease; 2) infective endocarditis; 3) pericardial disease; 4) cardiac tumors; and 5) complications related to myocardial infarction. The target audience for this Workshop will include sonographers, nurses, cardiology trainees, academic and community based cardiologists. A diverse faculty of speakers from different geographies within Canada will present 10 unique cases spread over 2 workshops, with each presentation lasting 7-8 minutes with adequate time for questions. This workshop has been very popular and well received at previous CCC meetings. The planning committee looks forward to providing new, unique case content to stimulate and engage a wide spectrum of cardiovascular professionals through case based discussions

Interactive and Engagement Activities Description: There will be a formal Q&A period as well as encouraged use of ARS questions and audience polling for interaction.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this session participants will be able to:

identify acute pathologies whose diagnosis and management is guided by echocardiography;
distinguish cardiac pathologies based on echocardiographic assessment; and
visualize rare cardiac pathologies and understand an echocardiographic approach to their assessment.

Presentations:

4:00 PM – 4:15 PM PT
