Cardiac Case Studies Interactive DVDs • Author: Michelle Bierig, MPH, RDMS, RDCS
The Cardiac Case Studies DVD series is designed for the medical professional with a minimum of six months experience performing and/or interpreting cardiac ultrasound
examinations. Each DVD features assorted case studies beginning with the patient clinical history. The participant will review each case study through different examination
views and document the findings on an interpretation worksheet (included as PDF documents in each DVD). At the completion of each case study a summary of the diagnostic
findings is provided along with a brief overview of the specific cardiac pathology as a reference. The DVD series is an ideal resource for enhancing interpretation
skills and to improve recognition of cardiac disease. The DVDs are also an excellent registry preparation resources and complement the P.A.S.S. Registry Review Package.
Volume 1: Valvular Heart Disease DVD (13 case studies)

6.0 * AMA Category 1 Credits TM
(Requires extra $50.00 CME processing fee at time of quiz submission)
After viewing this DVD, the participant should be able to: Identify 2D characteristics associated with commonly seen valvular heart disease;
recognize color and spectral Doppler characteristics associated with valvular heart disease; apply quantitative measurements with 2D, color and
spectral Doppler findings; correlate the clinical history with echocardiography findings; identify areas of weakness (concomitant pathology) that
may require further study. Due to the nature of its content, this CME product is non-refundable.
Volume 2: Coronary Artery Disease DVD (10 case studies)
VLC-2-CAD DVD; ISBN# 978-1-932680-50-8 (© 2005, reviewed 2009) Shp. Wt. 1 lb. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $125.00

(Requires extra $50.00 CME processing fee at time of quiz submission)
After viewing this DVD, the participant should be able to: State the various left ventricular wall segments and explain the distribution of coronary
artery flow; identify and classify wall motion abnormalities; recognize echocardiography characteristics of complications associated with coronary
artery disease; correlate the clinical history with cardiac ultrasound findings; identify areas of weakness (concomitant pathology) that may
require further study. Due to the nature of its content, this CME product is non-refundable.
