Medical Training AIStructural Heart Disease
You'll be able to work through valve pathology, patient selection, and imaging assessment for transcatheter structural heart interventions with more confidence.
What this track covers
This track covers the clinical reasoning behind transcatheter valve therapies, including how valve pathology drives symptoms, how candidacy is assessed for procedures like TAVR and transcatheter mitral repair, and how imaging findings inform procedural planning. It's built for clinicians who evaluate, refer, or co-manage patients being considered for structural heart interventions.
What you will practice
- Distinguish valve pathology patterns (stenosis vs regurgitation) and their hemodynamic consequences
- Work through risk stratification criteria used in transcatheter vs surgical candidacy decisions
- Interpret CT annulus sizing and TEE findings relevant to procedural planning
- Recognize common post-procedural complications and their early signs
- Explain the clinical rationale for a structural heart referral to a patient or colleague
Simulator scenario
A simulated case of an older adult with progressive exertional dyspnea and a systolic murmur, where the clinician works through the workup and structural heart referral decision.
Board question topics
- Aortic stenosis severity grading
- Candidacy criteria for transcatheter valve therapy
- Pre-procedural imaging interpretation
- Recognizing post-procedural complications
