Strain Echocardiography: Technical Use, Application, Assessment, and Clinical Cases
1 SDMS CME credit | Category: AE
This virtual session explores the principles and practical applications of strain echocardiography, focusing on its technical use, image acquisition, and interpretation. Participants will examine speckle tracking techniques and how they enhance diagnostic data from standard echocardiographic imaging. Case-based examples will highlight common cardiac pathologies, offering valuable insight into clinical integration and patient care.
Objectives:
- Identify technical factors that influence speckle tracking echocardiography to improve strain image acquisition.
- Explain the clinical application and assessment process for strain echocardiography in standard imaging.
- Recognize echocardiographic findings associated with common cardiac pathologies for accurate clinical evaluation.

Hemodynamic Stress Echocardiograms
1 SDMS CME credit | Category: AE
This virtual session examines the use of stress echocardiography to assess hemodynamic changes in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Emphasis is placed on methods for eliciting peak gradients and identifying the site of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Participants will explore non-Valsalva maneuvers, interpretation strategies, and clinical considerations that guide intervention decisions in patients with dynamic obstruction..
Objectives:
- Identify methods used to provoke peak intraventricular gradients in patients with HOCM.
- Describe clinical factors influencing cardiology and surgical decisions regarding HOCM intervention.
- Interpret findings to accurately locate obstruction and determine peak gradient during stress echocardiography.
