Rheumatic Heart Disease Screening Workshop
Sunday 12 October – 11:00am – 12:30pm PoCUS Stream
Abbreviated screening for asymptomatic rheumatic heart disease (RHD) has been shown to increase the identification of highrisk children and enable them to access life-saving penicillin treatment. RHD screening using focused ultrasound is different to clinical echocardiography and has been refined to effectively a single view protocol. In this workshop, we will teach you the basics of RHD screening using the World Heart Federation criteria.
Audience: Suited to sonographers (of all specialties) and doctors, nurses and allied health professionals familiar with PoCUS. No cardiac experience needed.
