Objectives

Identify and assess different types of prosthetic valves on echocardiography and understand their functional characteristics.

Detect and evaluate different complications like structural prosthetic valve dysfunction, patient-prosthesis mismatch and thromboembolism.

Understand the strengths and weaknesses of different valve replacement and valve repair procedures and master timing and management aspects adapted to patient profiles.
