Imaging and Outcomes in Congenital Heart Diseases: Personalized Care from Fetus to Adult

Saturday, April 28, 2018, 7:00 AM - Sunday, April 29, 2018, 5:00 PM, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

This CME activity will focus on review of current knowledge, standards, guidelines and advances in the field of fetal cardiology, pediatric cardiology and adult congenital heart disease with a focus on imaging. The focus for fetal cardiovascular assessment will be inclusive of cardiac anatomy, hemodynamics, rhythm and impact of extra cardiac anomalies on fetal circulation and outcome. Complex congenital heart disease diagnosis and assessment and management through adulthood will also be covered. This will be achieved using expert lectures, interactive panel discussions and case presentations.

The workshops will focus on standard fetal cardiac and hemodynamic assessment as well as transthoracic imaging, simulation, advanced myocardial deformation techniques and 3D imaging. Workshop sessions will also focus on multidisciplinary team roles for nurse practitioners and physician assistants.

1. Describe current indications and yield for a fetal echocardiogram.
2. Describe and identify barriers to screening for congenital heart disease in the fetus and provide appropriate counseling and management.
3. Describe and identify barriers to diagnosis, care and management of an adult with congenital heart disease.
4. Explain to imagers and caregivers how to utilize multimodality imaging in better understanding of complex cardiac morphology to help with surgical planning and education of the caregivers thereby improving patient outcomes.
5. Describe long term outcomes in adults with tetralogy of fallot and fontan circulation and how to properly utilize multimodality imaging to plan interventions.
6. Describe quality improvement initiatives in imaging and their incorporation into a clinical practice.
