Presentation Description / Summary:
Knowledge of pathologic changes caused by aquired and congenital heart disease provides a strong clinical foundation. It enables 1) recognition and understanding of disease processes, 2) improves identification of specific radiographic and echocardiographic patterns- by connecting visual abnormalities to their clinical significance, and 3) links cellular injury, inflammation, fibrosis, hemodynamic alterations, and structural remodeling to their radiographic and sonographic manifestations.
