CVTECH-140 Credits: 4 Echo Instrumentation This course introduces the specialized techniques of noninvasive cardiovascular testing and the evaluation of cardiovascular anatomy and physiology. Lectures will emphasize the performance and analysis of the echocardiogram, the correlation of echocardiographic fi ndings to normal cardiac anatomy, and the measurement and calculation of speci fi ed hemodynamic parameters. Laboratory sessions will incorporate advanced instruction in M-Mode and two-dimensional echocardiography with emphasis on pulsed wave, continuous wave and color- fl ow Doppler techniques. Prerequisite(s): Complete CVTECH-121. CVTECH-142 Credits: 3 Echo Case Review In this course, multiple cardiac pathologies will be studied and addressed through the presentation of echocardiographic case studies. Students will explore a variety of pathologies and how these anomalies can be evaluated through the utilization of cardiac sonography. This course will primarily involve the presentation of case studies and the assessment of clinical abnormalities as seen by cardiac imaging and advanced Doppler techniques. Prerequisite(s): Complete CVTECH-140, CVTECH-144, CVTECH-145 and CVTECH-149. CVTECH-143 Credits: 3 Ultrasound Principles and Physics This course provides the basic knowledge of the physical principles and instrumentation of diagnostic ultrasound. Topics covered in this lecture course include transducers, color- fl ow imaging methodology, bioe ff ects and acoustic output labeling standards. Students will be introduced to how diagnostic ultrasound works, how to properly handle artifacts, scan safely, evaluate instrument performance and ultimately prepare for board and registry examinations. Prerequisite(s): Complete CVTECH-149. CVTECH-144 Credits: 3 Advanced Echo Practicum The structure and function of the cardiac system will be addressed by introducing the specialized techniques of noninvasive cardiovascular testing. There will be an evaluation of cardiovascular sonographic

anatomy and physiology through advanced measurement techniques of speci fi ed hemodynamic parameters. This course will explore various pathologies and how these anomalies are evaluated by echocardiography. The student will learn how to assess clinical abnormalities of the human heart as it is seen by cardiac imaging and advanced Doppler techniques. Prerequisite(s): Complete CVTECH-121. CVTECH-145 Credits: 4 Echocardiography Fundamentals The structure and function of the cardiac system will be addressed, as well as how various pathologies and congenital anomalies are demonstrated and evaluated by echocardiography. Students learn how to assess clinical abnormalities of the human heart as it is seen by cardiac imaging, utilizing conventional and echocardiographic stress testing, intravascular. Prerequisite(s): Complete CVTECH-121. CVTECH-149 Credits: 2 Echocardiography Clinical Experience 1 This course provides the practical application of the principles covered in the didactic and laboratory portions of the program. Students observe, assist and perform duties assigned in the echocardiographic clinical setting. A written journal detailing the clinical phase of the instruction will be required. Prerequisite(s): Complete CVTECH-121. CVTECH-185 Credits: 2 Invasive CVT Clinical Seminar Students will discuss with other students the cases most recently performed during their clinical experience. Research papers will be required on a variety of related topics, as well as a review of the written journal detailing the clinical phase of instruction. This course will help to prepare students for the written examinations, which lead to credentialing in their chosen specialty. Guest speakers may be scheduled. Résumé writing and interview skills will be covered. Prerequisite(s): Complete CVTECH-139. CVTECH-186 Credits: 4 Invasive CVT Clinical Experience 2 This course provides the practical application of the principles covered in the didactic and laboratory portions of the program. Students observe, assist and perform duties assigned in the clinical setting in the student’s choice of Cardiovascular Technology discipline. Prerequisite(s): Completion of or currently enrolled in CVTECH-185. CVTECH-187 Credits: 4 Invasive CVT Clinical Experience 3 This course is a continuation of CVTECH-186, and provides the practical application to perfect the skills and knowledge through a wider range of cases. Students begin to take a more active and responsible part in the day- to-day tasks associated with clinical duties. Prerequisite(s): Complete CVTECH-186.
