After review of this website and participation in the interactive classroom discussion session, medical students should be able to:
1. Identify findings on imaging studies that indicate atherosclerosis, including findings seen on radiography, mammography and ultrasound.
2. Recognize morphologic features of poor left ventricular function on cardiac echo images and list two findings that would be associated with this condition on chest radiography.
3. Describe the typical chest radiographic appearance of aortic stenosis, list two features that can be used to identify an aortic valve replacement on radiographs, and identify the aortic valve on cardiac echo.
4. Demonstrate the various locations of atrial septal defect (ASD) in the heart, and describe at least two imaging studies that can be useful to identify and evaluate this congenital abnormality.
