The 2024 Pediatric and Adult Congenital Cardiology Review Course is a comprehensive, state-of-the art review of all aspects of pediatric and adult congenital cardiology. Well-known experts in the fields of pediatric cardiology, adult congenital heart disease, cardiac anesthesia, cardiac intensive care, cardiac pathology, and cardiovascular surgery provide in-depth lectures, case presentations, and interactive discussions. This course covers the wide spectrum of subspecialty content important to individuals preparing for certification in pediatric cardiology or adult congenital heart disease. A question and answer session with simulated board questions is held each evening to review the daily course content as well as hone the participant’s test-taking skills.

- Review salient concepts in pediatric cardiology relevant for the pediatric cardiology board exam.
- Demonstrate salient anatomic and hemodynamic features of congenital heart disease utilizing all forms of echocardiography and advancing imaging modalities.
- Analyze invasive hemodynamics, angiography, and interventions in the diagnosis and management of patients with congenital heart disease.
- Interpret ECGs and electrophysiology studies in infants, children, and adults with rhythm disorders.
- Interpret the various physiologic responses to exercise and how these responses are impacted in patients with congenital heart disease.
- Explain the rationale for treatment of the postoperative and critically ill patient in the cardiac ICU setting.
- Integrate statistical principles accurately and effectively in research study design.
- Identify pharmacologic principles for medications commonly used in patients with pediatric and adult congenital heart disease.
