ABOUT THE DVD CME PACK
Educational Symposia is constantly exploring ways to better serve our customers. Subscribers of our DVD CME teaching programs asked for a simpler way to share a DVD Teaching Program. We listened and are excited to introduce the DVD CME Pack.
Here's how it works. Purchase the original DVD teaching program then order as many DVD CME Packs as needed at a significantly reduced price. It really is that simple!
Educational Symposia's innovative DVD CME Packs allow each participating physician to own his/her set of DVDs. Having their own set provides the opportunity to view at their convenience and add to their personal reference library. DVD CME Packs are priced to make it a practical alternative to "waiting in line" to receive the next DVD.
Each DVD CME Pack contains:
-
An entire set of DVDs in a convenient case designed for durability and ease of access
-
One CME application and test
-
A one or two volume syllabus (depending on the series). Syllabus is included in the purchase price but is not enclosed in the DVD CME case.
See order form to order a DVD CME Pack for this series. To order a DVD CME Pack for a previously purchased DVD teaching program, visit us online at www.edusymp.com, call toll free (800) 338-5901.
Multiple CME Subscribers...
Educational Symposia DVD Teaching Programs are accredited for AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM for three years from the original release date. Once the initial order is placed, the number of CME applications and/or DVD CME Packs that can be ordered is limitless. Simply call (800) 338-5901 or access our website at www.edusymp.com and reference the name of the person or facility of the originating order. See order form for pricing.
ABOUT THIS VIDEO/DVD
Advances in Echocardiography will provide insight into the recent clinical and technologic advancements in echocardiography, including the use of contrast media and 3D applications. Basic to advanced scanning techniques along with clinical assessment of myocardial infarction, viability and arrhythmias will be discussed. Faculty members have been selected for their teaching ability, as well as their expertise.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This video/DVD series should benefit cardiologists and sonographers who perform, supervise, and interpret echocardiography procedures. It should also be valuable for referring physicians who order these studies.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
At the completion of this video/DVD CME series, subscribers should be able to:
- Describe clinical benefits and pitfalls of contrast echocardiography
- Implement clinical protocols for echocardiography contrast applications
- Discuss the benefits and limitations of 3D echocardiography
- Describe the benefits and limitations of echocardiography in the assessment of myocardial viability and microvascular disease
- Assess the role of tissue Doppler in diagnosing and treating dyssynchrony in heart failure patients
No special educational preparation is required for this CME activity.

STUDIO ENHANCEMENT
Educational Symposia video/DVD teaching sessions feature a distinctive production process termed Studio Enhancement. The diagnostic images utilized by the faculty for each lecture are reproduced and studio-processed to optimize the display of anatomy and pathology. Each of the teaching slides are integrated into the program. This editing process ensures the video/DVD user the best image quality possible when viewing the diagnostic material. An electronic pointer is included to further reinforce the learning process. This video/DVD teaching program has been produced using broadcast quality digital equipment and editing techniques. All programs are reproduced from digital masters for maximum quality.
