Summary

Attend this on-demand teaching session to learn and apply thoracic aorta dissection and valvular disease knowledge to medical professional practice. This session is led by Catherine Oliver, and features an overview of thoracic aorta dissection, a classification of the origin of tear in the intimal liner, medical investigations, the management of Stanford A, B, D and complications, and a comprehensive look at mitral and aortic stenosis and regurgitation. Relevant locations and maneuvers and investigation and management resources will also be discussed. Attend for an effective review of thoracic aorta dissection and valvular disease.

Description

This will be the last talk in our Cardiology Teaching Series for FFP Revision. Part Four will be covering Heart Murmurs and Dissection. Our final year medical student, Cat Oliver, will be hosting this interactive session focusing on aortic dissection, valvular heart disease, murmurs. We look forward to having you join us, pose questions, and explore these interesting cardiology topics.

Learning objectives

Learning Objectives:

  1. Recognize tear in intimal lining of thoracic aorta in adults aged 50-60.
  2. Identify risk factors for thoracic aorta dissection.
  3. Outline classifications for thoracic aorta dissection based on Debakey and Stanford criteria.
  4. Explain the signs and symptoms of both aortic and mitral valvular stenosis and regurgitation.
  5. Discuss investigation and management strategies for aortic and mitral valvular disease.
