Description Applied Cardiac Sonography provides students with discipline specific knowledge and skills. The subject is comprised of three modules: 1. Stress and Emergency Echocardiography, which predominantly involves the application of echocardiography to evaluate ischaemic heart disease, 2. Advanced Echocardiographic Technologies, that includes myocardial strain and 3-D imaging, and 3. Cardiac Interventions and Other Imaging Modalities, which involves the comparison of different interventions and imaging modalities.
