Hands-on cardiac morphology courses

Researcher

Course dates in 2012

Due to popular demand we have again increased the number of hands-on sessions this year to give you more options. These courses are suitable for anyone wishing to know more about congenital heart disease and wanting to observe the various lesions first hand. The aim of this three day course is to allow for small group discussion, in an informal setting, of important groups of congenital lesions both in theory and by hands-on examination of specimens. By the end of the course, participants will be comfortable with the anatomy of the major groups of congenital heart lesions and be able to analyse hearts in a sequential segmental fashion. Spaces are strictly limited to 12 delegates to allow for more personal tuition, time for examination of specimens and discussion.

Topics will include:

  • Sequential segmental analysis
  • Septal defects (ASD, VSD, AVSD)
  • Outflow tract abnormalities: tetralogy of fallot, double outlet ventricle, common arterial trunk, arch abnormalities, transposition
  • Isomerism & abnormal veins
  • Functionally univentricular heart
  • Abnormal AV & arterial valves (Ebstein’s, abnormal mitral valve, straddling valves, arterial valvular stenosis & regurgitation
