Atrial Flutter - A Study in Reentry
Price: $15.00
Course Objectives: Discuss atrial flutter as a macro-reentrant tachycardia. Look at the patient demographics, history, and treatment options associated with atrial flutter. Describe the different types of flutter. Explain the equipment, initiation, termination, and differential testing used during an EP study for atrial flutter. Examine the atrial flutter ablation procedure, with emphasis on location of ablation and endpoints. Detail success rates, post-ablation patient care and possible complications associated with atrial flutter ablation.

Cardiovascular Hemodynamics
Price: $15.00
Cardiovascular Hemodynamics is an introduction course to basic hemodynamic monitoring. In this course, basic parameters that are crucial in better understanding cardiac assessments on patients will be discussed. Emphasis will also be placed on the importance of obtaining accurate hemodynamic recordings and the impact inaccurate readings can have on patient outcome. Some topics that will be discussed include: mechanism of obtaining a waveform, inaccurate recordings, normal cardiac chamber pressures, pullbacks, gradients and cardiac output. The course will also evaluate the atrial and ventricular waveforms, identifying its components and significance of each.

Cardiovascular Pathophysiology Part I
Price: $22.50
Cardiovascular Pathophysiology is a two part series that examines many of the cardiovascular disease processes that occur in our everyday practices. The course outlines and defines various disease processes focusing primarily on etiologies, diagnoses, signs and symptoms and treatment modalities. After the completion of both courses, the reader will have a better understanding of how many of these disease processes are interrelated. The reader should also understand that early diagnosis and treatment are key determinants of the patient’s outcome. Part I is designed to look at Congestive Heart Failure, Pulmonary Hypertension, Hypertension, Atherosclerosis, Myocardial Infarction and Valvular abnormalities.

Assessing Diastolic Function in Cardiac Patients
Price: $15.00
The portability and the non-invasive nature of echocardiography - along with recent advances in technology - make it a useful tool for evaluating diastolic function as Doppler echocardiography displays the phases of diastole, along with showing the progression of diastolic dysfunction, ranging from abnormal relaxation to restrictive filling. This course provides an overview of diastole, reviews ways of identifying diastolic dysfunction, and introduces the learner to tissue Doppler, color m-mode and how to assess pulmonary venous flow when using echocardiography.
