Mitral 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 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.
Mitral Stenosis
First signs of rheumatic injury in a mitral valve. How to identify. (2min)
The first signs of rheumatic injury in a mitral valve are often difficult to identify. The answer lies mainly in the one-dimensional echo of the valve.
Echocardiographic diagnosis of mitral stenosis (6min)
It is one of the easiest diagnoses on echocardiography. Just the eyeball and the Doppler.
Assessment of the hemodynamic severity of a mitral stenosis by M-mode and 2D echo(10min)
Watch this class only after viewing the class on the diagnosis of mitral stenosis .
Assessment of the hemodynamic severity of a mitral stenosis by Spectral Doppler (7min)
Peak and mean gradients, which is the best? Pressure Half Time, is it trustful?
Assessment of the hemodynamic severity of a mitral stenosis by Color Doppler (9min)
The PISA method. Understand it in detail to trust it or not.
Assessment of the hemodynamic severity of a mitral stenosis by Continuity Equation (4min)
The Continuity Equation. Understand it in detail to trust it or not.
Valve evaluation for the best treatment: surgical vs balloon valvuloplasty (7min)
Here we will study when to indicate balloon valvuloplasty or surgery.
Errors and Problems
Mitral Valve Thickness Assessment. Is It Possible ? (3min)
Assessing the thickness of a thin structure on an echocardiogram is very difficult, if not impossible. Everything depends on the gain. The inter and intra observers variations is enormous
Exercises
Exercise to evaluate the Block index in view of the indication for balloon valvuloplasty. (15min)
Several cases to test the evaluation of the Block-Wilkans index.
