Aortic Stenosis
Dr. Fernando Morcerf -
President of the First Echocardiography Congress of the Cardiovascular Image Department of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology. Echocardiography professor in ECOR ECOCARDIOGRAPHY initialization and specialization courses for over 40 years with more than 180 classes.
CONTINUOUS EDUCATION: The Practice of Echocardiography
Basic, intermediate, and advanced information on the diagnosis of various heart diseases studied in Adult Echocardiography.
Aimed at Cardiologists and Sonographers dedicated to Echocardiography, who already have some practical knowledge of the method, and wish an extensive range of theoretical and practical experience from Dr. Fernando Morcerf, many exclusive and original.
You will notice that the classes go directly to the issue.
A life with more than 35 years of continuous working on Echo and Teaching. Using logic, studies, and experience for deep explanations to depict what really works on a day-by-day base, not only on guidelines or preconception.
Notice also that ALL examples provided are cases from my own experience.
In addition to the video lessons, the student will be able to send their doubts and questions directly to Dr. Morcerf using an e-mail or WhatsApp number that will be provided. It is not a Group; hence, any message will be exclusively between us. When relevant to the questions, images may also be sent, however, I cannot give a complete report about a case, just answer your questions.
Only the active students will be able to access this service of Consulting, Mentoring, and Continuous Education.
A CERTIFICATE with the total hours of the course will be provided at the end of the period.
Each Course presents a General Subject composed of several video classes grouped here to meet those interested in a specific topic. Click on a video lesson to see a summary of the topic.
Aortic Stenosis
How to Confirm Diagnosis of Aortic Stenosis (2min)
How to diagnose that there is aortic stenosis. Importance of Doppler
Defining the Valve Anatomy (9min)
In the adults the main conditions are rheumatic, degenerative and calcification of a bicuspid valve
Assessment of Severity of Aortic Stenosis part I - Echo Bi and Doppler (15min)
Several means of assessing the hemodynamic severity of aortic stenosis. Initially by 2D echo and Pulsed Doppler.
Assessment of Severity of Aortic Stenosis part II - cont. Doppler (10min)
Several means of assessing the hemodynamic severity of aortic stenosis. Color flow and continuous Doppler.
Assessment of the Severity of an Aortic Stenosis part III - area analysis (7min)
Several means of assessing the hemodynamic severity of an aortic stenosis. Evaluation of the area by the continuity equation and by the transesophageal echo planimetry.
Evaluate the Repercussion on the LV (12min)
Low flow, Low gradient, AS and reduced EF. Dimensionless Index. Dobutamine Test. Paradoxical low flow, low gradient severe AS with preserved EF
Common Mistakes
Errors in the Assessment of Aortic Stenosis (10min)
Aligning the ultrasonic beam with the jet of an aortic stenosis is not easy. The possibility of underestimating the severity of stenosis is always present. There are some ‘tricks’.
