7.00 Credits
This course builds on the knowledge and skills learned in ECH 130 - Clinical Echo II. The student will observe procedures presented, participate in and perform with assistance procedures performed in noninvasive cardiography labs, and imaging centers. Continued participation by the student will progressively lead to the student performing diagnostic procedures unassisted with the supervision of an appropriately credentialed sonographer. Students may do a brief rotation through an invasive cardiology lab, pediatric lab and/or vascular lab. Prerequisites: ECH 120, ECH 130 Corequisites: ECH 145, ECH 150, ECH 155
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed as an introduction into the field of vascular sonography. The student will be required to perform venous examinations, lower extremity, and arterial studies of the neck and some indirect testing of the extremity arteries. For these areas, much greater depth will be reached. The field of Vascular Sonography is much wider and encompassing than these areas. The broader field of vascular sonography will be introduced but not studied at length or in depth.

3.00 Credits
Introduction to congenital heart disease. With instruction on transducer selection, patient care, surgical repair and palliative procedures. Prerequisites: DMS 101, DMS 102, DMS 103, PHR 100, ECH 100, ECH 105, ECH 115, ECH 120, ECH 135 Corequisites: ECH 145, ECH 155, ECH 140
-
1.00 Credits
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. Prerequisites: CVT 103, CVT 110, CVT 111
-
9.00 Credits
This course builds on the knowledge and skills learned in ECH 130 Clinical Echo III. By the end of the 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 the 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 vascular courses. Prerequisites: DMS 101, DMS 102, ECH 100, ECH 105, ECH 100, PHR 100, DMS 103, ECH 120, ECH 115, ECH 135 ECH 130, ECH 145, ECH 150, ECH 155, ECH 140 Corequisite: ECH 205
-
3.00 Credits
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 diseases/dysfunctions. Also included will be a review of clinical noninvasive cardiac diagnostic procedures, laboratory values, pharmacology and test validation and measurements. Prerequisites: ECH 100, ECH 105, DMS 101, DMS 102, ECH 100 ECH 105, ECH 110, PHR 100, DMS 103, ECH 120, ECH 115, ECH 135, ECH 130, ECH 145, ECH 150, ECH 155, ECH 140 Corequisite: ECH 200
-
3.00 Credits
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. Prerequisite: ECH 133
-
8.00 Credits
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. Prerequisite: ECH 133 Corequisite: ECH 231
-
12.00 Credits
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 vascular courses. Topics include scanning, documentation of pathologies, patient and equipment skills, current literature, professionalism, and ethical behavior. Prerequisite: ECH 236 Corequisite: ECH 240
-
2.00 Credits
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. Prerequisites: CVT 103, CVT 110, CVT 111, ECH 131, ECH 133, ECH 231 Corequisite: ECH 237
