Free online courseCongenital Heart Disease Echocardiography

Course Description

Congenital Heart Disease Echocardiography is a free online course in Health that builds practical understanding of how to assess congenital cardiac anatomy with echocardiography. It guides learners from foundational concepts and standard echo windows to a structured approach for interpreting common and complex congenital lesions.

You will strengthen skills in recognizing normal echocardiographic views and applying a systematic evaluation to septal defects, atrioventricular connections, and shunt lesions such as patent ductus arteriosus and aortopulmonary window. The course also explores outflow tract and arch pathology, including left and right ventricular outflow tract anomalies, coarctation, aortic arch anomalies, and vascular rings.

Advanced sections focus on valvular and coronary conditions, along with venous anatomy and common variants of systemic and pulmonary venous return. Major cyanotic and complex congenital heart diseases are covered with an echo-first perspective, including Tetralogy of Fallot, double outlet right ventricle, transposition physiology, tricuspid atresia, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, truncus arteriosus, and heterotaxy syndromes. Ideal for clinicians and sonographers seeking clearer pattern recognition and a more confident, step-by-step echo assessment of congenital heart disease.
