The Echo on Marco Island: Case-Based Approach is a seminar that addresses multiple echocardiographic techniques in assessment of cardiac function and structure in adult acquired or congenital heart disease:

• Use of echocardiography to assess prosthetic valves
• The application of Doppler principles to assessing hemodynamics including valvular heart disease
• Advantages of stress echocardiography and use of contrast
• Diastolic echocardiographic measurements
• Echocardiographic features of common congenital heart abnormalities
• Echocardiographic principles in assessment of congestive heart failure
• Advantages and disadvantages of new imaging techniques including 3-D and strain
• The role of echo in the interventional cardiology practice
