CVTE 4012 Electrocardiographic Anatomy and Physiology

This course provides a foundation in the principles of echocardiography, the most effective, noninvasive method for use in cardiac diagnosis. The course involves understanding of normal cardiac anatomy, coronary anatomy, and relationship of chambers with great vessels. It also includes normal cardiac physiology and its understanding in relation to echocardiography. In addition, this course provides understanding of EKG, Electrophysiology, the conduction system and mechanical events of cardiac cycle in relation to electrical events. This course provides the application and techniques used in 2D cardiac imaging, M mode of LV at different levels of cardiac studies, and cardiac anatomy and function.
