TEACH Workshop

Registration is OPEN!

TEACH: Training and Education in Advanced Cardiovascular Hemodynamics will provide an introduction to the fundamentals of cardiovascular physiology and help build the foundation for a deep understanding of the pathophysiology of cardiogenic shock and all forms for mechanical circulatory support used for its treatment. The program helps conceptualize these complex concepts through the window of the ventricular pressure-volume diagram, giving participants a fresh and unique perspective that can carry over to clinical practice.
 
Plan on bringing your laptop computer to take full advantage of this immersive program. (Note: this course is not optimized for mobile devices such as tablets and cell phones.)

Faculty
Daniel Burkhoff, MD, PhD

Target Audience
Any medical professional interested in obtaining a deeper understanding of the hemodynamics of cardiogenic shock and mechanical circulatory support.

Learning Objectives

1. At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to:
2. Explain how changes in ventricular preload, afterload resistance, contractility and compliance are manifested on the pressure-volume diagram. 
3. Describe the 3 major processes that account for a majority of myocardial oxygen consumption and the factors that impact the relationship between MVO2 and pressure-volume area. 
4. Utilize the pressure-volume diagram to describe the fundamental differences of the hemodynamic effects of IABP, ECMO and a trans-aortic valvular pump in cardiogenic shock.
