Get experienced guidance regarding critically ill patients, patients with an echocardiographic assessment prior to cardiac intervention, and patients for whom echocardiograms are a necessary and regular evaluation.

Organized in four sections — general principles, disorders, modalities, and settings — this CME program focuses on contemporary clinical standards, in addition to presenting new available modalities, emerging indications, and new approaches, all of which have a dramatic impact on echocardiographic use. Oakstone’s Echocardiography – A Comprehensive Review will help you:

Understand clinical indications and quality assurance issues
Recognize clinical uses, advantages, potential complications, and limitations of new available modalities
Know the techniques needed to evaluate various diseases and disorders
Summarize the characteristic findings of diseases of the myocardium
Discuss the role of echocardiography in the intraoperative, critical care, and emergency department settings

his CME program from Oakstone is available online or via audio MP3 CDs, so you can learn and earn credits from your home or office. Echocardiography – A Comprehensive Review provides a maximum of 30.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits ™
