Mayo Clinic Echocardiography Comprehensive Review Course for Boards and Clinical Practice May 2-6, 2026 Rochester Hilton Mayo Clinic | Rochester, MN Date of Original Release: May, 2026 Pease Read List of content Before Buying , Supplement Material and Day 3 second half videos are not yet added and they will be added after July 2026 Pack Includes Videos+Slides COURSE DESCRIPTION Mayo Clinic Echocardiography Board Review Course is an intensive course over 5 days specifically designed to prepare attendees for success on the National Board of Echocardiography (NBE) certification exam. It has a focused emphasis on the NBE examination format covering the entire field of Echocardiography including ultrasound physics, 2D and M-Mode, hemodynamics, valvular heart disease, ischemic heart disease, heart failure and cardiomyopathies, pericardial disease, congenital heart disease, and newer imaging techniques including strain and 3-D echocardiography. Well-known experts and recognized educators, comprised of Mayo Clinic faculty in each field of echocardiography will give in-depth didactic lectures pertaining particularly to integration of echocardiographic data into clinical practice. Each lecture will include multiple choice type question and answer sessions facilitated by an audience response system. This course is also an excellent choice for individuals looking to refresh and replenish their echocardiography knowledge as it provides a comprehensive review of echocardiography with pearls and concepts required for the clinical practice of echocardiography.

COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

• State basic physical principles of cardiovascular ultrasound and instrumentation;
• Correlate cardiac gross pathology with echocardiographic images;
• Integrate new echocardiographic techniques to enhance disease diagnosis;
• Evaluate cardiac chamber size, left ventricular systolic and diastolic function and right ventricular systolic function;
• Apply Doppler echocardiography in the assessment of cardiovascular hemodynamics;
• Evaluate acute and chronic ischemic heart disease using standard and stress echocardiography;
• Differentiate between causes of heart failure;
• Differentiate between causes of cardiomyopathies and pericardial disease;
• Determine the presence, etiology, and severity of native and prosthetic valvular heart disease;
• Recognize systemic disease with echocardiographic manifestations of cardiovascular involvement;
• Determine the presence, etiology, and severity of diseases of the aorta based on echocardiographic testing; and,
• Differentiate congenital pathology from normal physiology with echocardiographic imaging.

  Disclaimer Participation in this Mayo Clinic educational activity does not indicate nor guarantee competence or proficiency in the performance of any procedures which may be discussed or taught in this course. You should be aware that substantive developments in the medical field covered by this recording may have occurred since the date of original release. Target Audience This enduring program is designed for, but not limited to, cardiologists, echocardiographers, anesthesiologists, cardiac surgeons, and cardiology fellows.

The course runs from May 2-6, 2026, at the Rochester Hilton Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, and is available both in-person and via livestream (Central Standard Time Zone). Here’s a breakdown by day:

• Saturday, May 2: Focuses on Fundamentals of Echocardiography I & II, including topics like LV and RV quantitation, M-Modes, Doppler and Color Flow Imaging, Transesophageal Echocardiography, 3-D Echocardiography, NBE Exam overview, Physics in Practice, Contrast Echocardiography, and Diastolic Function. The day concludes with Echo Lab Tours and a Welcome Reception.
• Sunday, May 3: Covers Myocardial Function Imaging (HFpEF, LA Strain, Essentials of Strain Imaging, Strain for Cardio-Oncology and Cardiomyopathies, Cardiac Amyloidosis, Pulmonary Hypertension) and Heart Failure and Cardiomyopathies (HFrEF, Dilated Cardiomyopathy, Transplantation, LV Devices, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Pericardial Diseases).
• Monday, May 4: Dedicated to Echocardiography in Valvular Heart Disease (Aortic Valve Stenosis/Regurgitation, Mitral Valve Stenosis/Regurgitation, Tricuspid and Pulmonary Valve Diseases) and Structural Heart Disease Intervention (Prosthetic Valve Assessment, Interventional Echocardiography, Intraoperative Echocardiography). The afternoon includes Infective Endocarditis and an Echo Hemodynamic Workshop.
• Tuesday, May 5: Addresses Systemic and Coronary Diseases (Echo in Systemic Diseases and Pregnancy, Coronary Artery Disease) and Stress Echocardiography (Stress Echo, Diastolic Stress Echo, Hemodynamic Stress Echo for Structural Heart Disease). The afternoon focuses on Congenital and Aortic Diseases (Aorta, Cardiac Masses, Simple and Complex Congenital Heart Disease).
• Wednesday, May 6: The final day begins with a breakfast Q&A discussion, followed by a “Cases for the Boards” session covering Congenital and Valve Cases, and practical workshops on 3-D Knobology, Applying Strain in Practice, Advanced Echo Hemodynamics, and Point of Care Ultrasound.
