5) Fetal Arrhythmias

Why Should You Enroll In This Diploma?

The main objective of our diploma is to enable participants to perform expert diagnosis and

counseling of prenatal heart anomalies by in-depth

knowledge of fetal cardiac physiology.

Our specific objectives:

• To achieve optimal prenatal acquisition of images

for evaluation of fetal cardiac physiology.

• To efficiently incorporate into fetal

echocardiographic evaluation all related techniques,

including 2D grayscale, M-mode, color and spectral

Doppler, 4D-STIC, tissue Doppler, strain, and magnetic

resonance imaging.

• To enable participants to perform expert diagnosis

and counseling of congenital prenatal heart anomalies.

• To enable participants to properly assess fetal

cardiac function in a clinical context.

• To enable participants to perform expert diagnosis,

treatment, and counseling of fetal arrhythmias.

• To recognize indications, limitations, and benefits of

in utero cardiac therapy, in a clinical context.

• To predict how the fetal heart adapts to an insult, and

consequently predict fetal cardiac remodeling, dysfunction,

and failure.

By mastering these in-demand competencies, you'll become a valuable asset in the field of fetal cardiology. You'll play a vital role in improving prenatal diagnosis, allowing for earlier intervention and better outcomes for pregnancies affected by congenital heart defects.
