Pathologic Specimen and Fetal Echo

Review Course

Chaired by Ericka Hatfield, DO and Diane Spicer, PA (ASCP)

This unique event is unlike many others employing live demonstration of pathologic congenital heart specimens with correlating fetal echo imaging enhancing the educational opportunity and providing an understanding of basic and complex congenital heart disease.

During the main portion of the symposium, the specimens will be available for hands-on examination, allowing the attendees to elevate their learning experience. Check out the available videos to see some of the specimens that will be on hand for the presentations.

Closing Remarks



DILV - Holmes Heart 

Transposition with VSD

Pulmonary Venous Abnormality

Normal Short Axis of the TV and MV

Learning

Objectives


Normal Heart


Using the morphologic method and sequential segmental analysis, the attendees will be able to identify all three segments of the normal heart (atriums, ventricles and arterial trunks).


Systemic Venous Anomalies


Participants will be able to describe the different types and variability of systemic venous anomalies.



Pulmonary Venous Anomalies


Identify the different types of pulmonary venous anomalies and the variability of drainage.



Transposition


Recognize all of the variable features that can be associated with transposition.



Congenitally Corrected Transposition


Participants will be able to describe the typical morphologic features of congenitally corrected transposition and the anatomic variations.


Double Outlet Right Ventricle


Understand the variable features seen in those hearts with double outlet right ventricle.



Univentricular Heart (Double Inlet Left Ventricle and Tricuspid Valve Atresia)


Discussing the embryology of both lesions will allow the attendee to learn how the defects are developmentally closely related along with their variants.



Complex LVOT


Develop an understanding of the many abnormalities that can affect obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract. 


Meet our

Speakers

Our speakers are experts in fetal cardiology and congenital heart disease, bringing a unique blend of clinical and imaging expertise. Through the integration of pathologic cardiac specimens and corresponding fetal echocardiography, they provide a comprehensive, visual approach to learning that deepens understanding of fundamental congenital heart conditions and enhances diagnostic insight.
