Workshop Description: "Echocardiography in Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS)" is a joint workshop presented by the Canadian Society of Echocardiography, Canadian Heart Failure Society, and Canadian Cardiac Transplant Network. The workshop focuses on the echocardiographic evaluation of ECMO, Impella Device and durable Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs), providing a simple yet comprehensive approach to using echocardiography in the assessment, troubleshooting and optimization of newer devices. The target audience for this Workshop will include sonographers, nurses, cardiology trainees, academic and community based cardiologists. A diverse faculty of speakers, representing each society will provide lectures exploring (1)MCS basic concepts necessary for imaging (2) echocardiographic imaging for MCS related complications (3) troubleshooting device alarms using echo (4) using echocardiography for turn down and ramp studies. Adequate time will be reserved for audience interaction. This workshop aims to provide a practical approach to imaging MCS that can be carried out by cardiovascular professionals from varying backgrounds, in a number of clinical settings.
