The SCA-On-CUE subject 6 systematically goes through the advanced assessment of all the valves, including prosthetic valve assessment. The tutorials build on from the knowledge assimilated in Level 1. The level of interpretation is consistent with diagnostic level echocardiographers, cardiac anesthesiologists, or cardiologists. This subject also covers aortic disease (including aneurysms and dissection), as well as a further tutorial on miscellaneous congenital cardiac disorders. Click here for Course Brochure
The course instruction builds upon previous knowledge so it is best to complete the subjects in order. For the SCA certification, all subjects 5-8 need to be completed and satisfactorily passed.
