Program InformationOverview of the ASCeXAM/ReASCE Review Course:Virtual ExperienceThis online course will be available on Saturday, May 8, 2021, and willoffer access to recordings and PDF slides of all scheduled presentations,including physics. ASE has specifically designed the ASCeXAM/ReASCEReview Course as a preparatory course for the National Board ofEchocardiography, Inc. (NBE) ASCeXAM and ReASCE examinations.Lectures given will emphasize illustrative cases and as such will not be“canned talks” from other cardiovascular ultrasound courses.This Review Course will cover all aspects of cardiovascular ultrasoundessential to these examinations, including physics, valvular heartdisease, strain and 3D imaging, contrast echocardiography, ischemicheart disease, congenital heart disease, and more.The expert faculty will use case studies and lectures to help prepareattendees for the ASCeXAM or ReASCE examinations. The ReviewCourse has been designed with the computer-based examinationadministration in mind.Learning Objectives Explain the essential physical principles of cardiac ultrasound. Recognize common ultrasound artifacts and their genesis. Estimate systolic function using standard M-mode and 2Dechocardiography, as well as newer modalities such as strainimaging and 3D echocardiography. Identify and quantitate valvular heart disease severity. Describe the application of Doppler in the assessment ofhemodynamics, diastolic function, and heart failure. Perform clinically relevant calculations of valve areas and intracardiacpressures. Explain proven techniques for interpreting stress echocardiographicexaminations. Differentiate features of cardiac tamponade, constrictive pericarditis,and restrictive cardiomyopathy. List appropriate applications of echocardiography. Recognize newer applications of echocardiography such asmyocardial contrast and 3D echocardiography.Why take the ASCeXAM or ReASCE Examinations?NBE administers the ASCeXAM and ReASCE examinations to allowphysicians to test and demonstrate their knowledge of echocardiographybased on an objective standard. The ASCeXAM is the Examinationof Special Competence in Adult Echocardiography and is intended forthose who wish to demonstrate special competence in all areas ofechocardiography. The ReASCE is the Recertification Examination ofSpecial Competence in Adult Echocardiography designed specificallyfor those who have previously passed the ASCeXAM . The purposeof ReASCE is to promote continued excellence in all areas ofechocardiography.Passing these examinations is mandatory when applying for andmaintaining NBE certification in any or all of the following areas:transthoracic echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, orstress echocardiography.The examinations are given at testing centers throughout the UnitedStates. The test will consist of one case-oriented block and threemultiple choice blocks covering the following content areas: physical principles of ultrasound; valvular heart disease; ventricular size and function, coronary artery disease,cardiomyopathies; congenital heart disease and fetal echocardiography; cardiac masses, pericardial disease, myocardial contrast, and newerapplications of echocardiography.Questions will test knowledge of M-mode, 2D and Dopplerechocardiography, transesophageal, contrast, and stressechocardiography. The case-oriented block will last up to 1½ hourswhile the other three blocks will last up to 60 minutes per block.As of now, the ASCeXAM and ReASCE exams will be held onTuesday, July 20, 2021. More details concerning these examinationscan be found on the NBE website at echoboards.org.Who Should AttendThis course is designed for physicians interested in sitting forthe ASCeXAM (Examination of Special Competence in AdultEchocardiography) or the ReASCE (Recertification Examination of SpecialCompetence in Adult Echocardiography), as well as physicians andsonographers interested in a broad review of cardiovascular ultrasound.Course RegistrationRegistration fees include all recorded presentations, PDF downloads, posttest questions, Q&A sessions with expert faculty, and 28.75 CME credits.ASE members can take advantage of reduced registration fees as a benefitof membership. Register online today at ASEcho.org/ReviewCourse.Registration closes on July 31, 2021, but registrants will have unlimitedon-demand access to course content through May 2, 2022.The expert faculty will host two 2-hour live Q&A sessions on Saturday,July 10, 2021, from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM ET, and 12:30 – 2:30PM ET. This will be another opportunity to review additional board typequestions, different from those found in the course. It is also a time forfaculty to answer your specific questions, review course material, anddive deeper into certain subjects. These live Q&A sessions are includedwith your course registration, and will be recorded for on-demandviewing. More information on these sessions will be available here inSpring 2021: ASEcho.org/ReviewCourse.2
