In this interactive course, the participants will experience comprehensive education on 3-dimensional echocardiography. The workshop focuses on mastering the principals, acquisition, and interpretation of 3D echocardiographic imaging for cardiac procedures. This will include a comprehensive overview of knobology and the differences in nomenclature across various echocardiography systems.

The workshop aims to enhance skills in physics of 3-dimensional imaging, various steps to acquire 3 dimensional datasets, optimization of 3D imaging, and multiplanar reformatting. The workshop will cover mitral, tricuspid and aortic valvular 3D imaging and assessments, left and right ventricular volumetric assessments, and measurement of dimensions of various cardiac structures pertaining to different procedures. The interactive educational sessions will be supplemented by live workshop with instructions and demonstrations. The course will include lectures by faculty, case presentations, and expert faculty discussions in a virtual, live streamed setting.
