LV Diastolic Function
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 direct 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, imagens may also be sent, however I cannot give a complete report about a case, just answer to 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.
LV Diastolic Function
Evaluation of LV Diastolic Function. The Basic and Simple. (11min)
Basic principles for understanding LV Diastolic function. Relaxation. Distensibility. Evaluation of EF Mitral Slope and Diastolic displacement of the Aortic Root.
Evaluation of LV Diastolic Function by Doppler - IVRT and Mitral Flow (23 min)
One of the main methods for evaluating LV diastolic function is mitral Doppler. Without knowing the perfect relation between the LA-LV gradients during diastole you will not understand the reasons for the mitral flow curve. See here how to do it and then the causes of errors.
Evaluation of LV Diastolic Function by Color Doppler M Mode - Mitral Flow Propagation Velocity (5min)
Another way to assess LV relaxation and distinguish between normal and pseudo mitral flow from normal. Can you really? Propagation flow velocity
Evaluation of LV Diastolic Function by Tissue Doppler (9min)
The evaluation of diastolic function by tissue Doppler is also widely used. It has its problems.
Evaluation of LV Diastolic Function by Doppler - Pulmonary Venous Flow (9min)
Pulmonary venous flow has been described as important for the differential diagnosis between normal and pseudo normal when found on Doppler mitral flow. The problem is to demonstrate it!
Evaluation by the movement of the mitral ring to the 2D echo (11min)
In just eleven minutes learn to evaluate the LV Relaxation by the movement of the Mitral Ring to the Two-dimensional Echo. Much more sensitive and specific than Mitral Doppler.
Movement of the mitral ring assessed by the M-mode echo (21min)
Watch this lesson only after studying the movement of the ring by the two-dimensional echo.
Movement of the mitral ring assessed by the M-mode echo: Exercise (9min)
Watch this lesson only after studying the movement of the ring by the two-dimensional echo.
Problem with mitral valve flow E and A waves size (8min)
Some problems that you may not think it existed (8min)
How I analyze diastolic function (24min)
Some problems that you may not think it existed (8min)
