The Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) Bachelor Course is an online echocardiography video teaching program designed to provide comprehensive education on adult congenital heart defects. This course covers a wide range of major congenital heart conditions, including ventricular and atrial septal defects (ASD+VSD), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), congenital valve diseases, left and right ventricular outflow tract (LVOT/RVOT) obstructions, tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), Coarctation (CoA), and more. Additionally, it delves into the fundamentals of complex congenital abnormalities, such as surgical procedures, Transposition of the great arteries (TGA), single ventricles, and abnormal pulmonary venous connections (APVC). The course offers access to numerous examples, patient demonstrations, and expert insights from top professionals in the ACHD field.
