Doppler Physics and Hemodynamics for the Cardiac Sonographer

Catalog description

Course focuses on factors that will impact blood flow throughout the cardiovascular system and how the spectral Doppler signal, color flow Doppler and aliasing are displayed on the monitor by the use of Doppler Physics. Hemodynamic formulas for valve stenosis, heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, cardiac index, ejection fraction, oxygenation saturation levels, cath lab pressures, along with provocative maneuvers that will alter cardiac physiology.
