Case-based learning (CBL) is an established approach used across disciplines where learners apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios, promoting higher levels of cognition. Case-based learning (CBL) uses stories about individuals facing decisions or dilemmas. The eCASE Learning based series consists of four “cases” from CASE that are topic specific relevant to what our current members/learners are requesting more education about.

Target Audience:

This activity is designed for all cardiac sonographers and cardiovascular physicians with a primary interest, and knowledge base in the field of echocardiography; in addition, residents, physician assistants, researchers, pediatricians, clinicians, intensivists, and other medical professionals.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be better able to:

1. Use fetal and post-natal echocardiography, recognize the presence and clinical significance of anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery.
2. Describe the factors that contribute to normal closure of the ductus arteriosus at childbirth and what may cause the ductus to remain patent.
3. Describe the potential consequences of undiagnosed incomplete Kawasaki disease.
4. Describe the risk factors for native pulmonary valve endocarditis (PVE) and recognize that PVE may occur in the absence of predisposing risk factors.
