After completion of this subject, students will have the knowledge to acquire the focused transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) views, understand haemodynamic state assessment, perform limited valve assessment using two dimensional and colour flow Doppler, interpret common cardiac pathology identified with TTE and be able to write a focused TTE report. Students will have interpreted and written a report on 10 online focused TTE studies of a wide range of commonly encountered cardiac pathology.
