6.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ECH 131 Corequisite ECH 137 Utilizes the fundamentals to evaluate acquired disease states. Incorporates all forms of noninvasive cardiovascular evaluation with emphasis on performance and interpretation of M-mode, 2-dimensional, and Doppler echocardiography. Topics include: cardiac chamber studies, hemodynamic correlates, valvular heart disease, coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathies, pericardial diseases, cardiac masses, and diseases of the aorta. 10012007
-
8.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CVT 103; CVT 110, CVT 111 Introduces the clinical environment by assisting the technologist in the echocardiography lab in patient preparation and imaging while acquiring electrocardiograms, Holter monitors, stress testing, and pacemaker checks. Students will participate and perform (with assistance) procedures in noninvasive cardiology labs and imaging centers. Topics include: clinical environment; recording medical information; patient preparation for noninvasive cardiovascular treatment; medical ethics; performance of basic normal echo under guidance; proper positioning in Doppler, CW and color; and observation of TEE and stress echo. 10102007

8.00 Credits
Provides hands-on experience in performing noninvasive cardiovascular procedures with emphasis on instrumentation and development of clinical techniques. Topics include: policies and procedures, echocardiographic instrumentation, recording patient information, patient preparation, and performing echocardiographic examinations. 10112007
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: AHS 104, CVT 103, CVT 110, CVT 111. The purpose of the Case Study is to provide the opportunity for review and reinforcement of theoretical concepts with an evaluation of Echocardiography. The purpose of the Journal Review is to allow the student to study the current formats and methods of professional articles/presentations of echocardiography. Students will be asked to prepare and present interesting case studies to include clinical history, normal anatomy, clinical laboratory test modalities, protocols, techniques and findings. Topics include: identification of resources, literature review, formatting according to audience, citation of sources, written presentation skills, and oral presentation skills. Emphasis is placed on professional growth and preparation to enter the field of echocardiography as a contributing member. 10112007
-
6.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ECH 133 This course offers an introduction to congenital heart disease with instruction on transducer selection, patient care, surgical repair and palliative procedures. Topics include: cyanotic lesions, shunt lesions, sedation, transducer selection, Doppler color flow imaging, research methods, statistics, and quality improvement. Emphasis is placed on the latest modalities and specialties of noninvasive cardiac diagnostic study 10112007
-
8.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ECH 137. Corequisite: ECH 231. Provides hands-on experience in the clinical setting with an emphasis placed on the development of clinical techniques employed to obtain meaningful data. Continued participation by the student will progressively lead to the student performing diagnostic procedures with less assistance but under the supervision of an appropriately credentialed sonographer. Topics include: echocardiographic instrumentation, logging and reporting information, preparation for echocardiographic examinations, medical ethics, and performing echocardiographic procedures. Students may do a brief rotation through an invasive cardiology lab, pediatric lab and/or vascular lab. 10112007
-
12.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ECH 234; Corequisite: ECH 205. This course builds on the knowledge and skills learned in Clinical Echo 3. By the end of this rotation, the student will perform all echocardiography procedures independently with the supervision of an appropriately credentialed sonographer. This course provides a culminating clinical setting experience which allows students to synthesize information and procedural instruction provided throughout the program. Emphasis is placed on skill level improvements and final completion of all required clinical competencies presented in previous courses and practiced in previous clinical courses. Topics include: scanning, documentation of pathologies, patient and equipment skills, current literature, professionalism, and ethical behavior. 10112007
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CVT 103, CVT 110, CVT 111, ECH 131, ECH 133, ECH 231. Corequisite ECH 237. This course will be an overall review of Echocardiography to include demonstration of normal and abnormal cardiac anatomy, cardiac physiology, pathophysiology and hemodynamics/physics in the different types of cardiac disease/ dysfunctions. Also included will be a review of clinical non-invasive cardiac diagnostic procedures, laboratory values, pharmacology and test validation and measurements. Topics include: normal and abnormal cardiac anatomy, techniques, pathology, physics/hemodynamics, test validation and measurements, and laboratory values. Emphasis is placed on reviewing information so that the student will successfully pass the ARMDS and/or CCI certification examinations. 10112007
-
5.00 Credits
Provides a description and analysis of economic operations in contemporary society. Emphasis is placed on developing an understanding of economic concepts and policies as they apply to everyday life. Topics include: basic economic principles; economic forces and indicators; capital and labor; price, competition, and monopoly; money and banking; government expenditures, (federal and local); fluctuations in production, employment, and income; and the United States economy in perspective. 10082008
-
5.00 Credits
Introduces the fundamentals of plant science and horticulture as a career field. Topics include: industry overview, plant parts, plant functions, environmental factors in horticulture, soil function and components, fertilizer elements and analysis, and propagation techniques.
