The cardiovascular system is the first main organ system to form and become functional, and provides the growing embryo with oxygen and nutrients.

The cardiovascular system is the first main organ system to form and become functional, and provides the growing embryo with oxygen and nutrients. It is therefore important to consider heart development. This theory module teaches you about cardiac embryology and common fetal congenital abnormalities. The text and video describe fetal heart development in detail, and the echocardiographic findings of some congenital abnormalities.

If you are not a medical student or physician, you may prefer the other version of this module, which includes all the procedural information needed by professionals in other roles: /shop/imaging/sonography/echocardiography/embryology-and-echocardiography-assessment-of-congenital-heart-disease/

You’ll learn  

  • to better visualize and understand the anatomy and physiology of the fetal heart, with our 3D model and illustrations
  • about cardiac embryology and the stages of heart development
  • how to identify on sonographic images common congenital cardiac pathologies
  • much more (see Content Details for more specific information).

The SIMTICS modules are all easy to use and web-based. This means they are available at any time as long as the learner has an internet connection. No special hardware or other equipment is required, other than a computer mouse for use in the simulations. Each of the SIMTICS modules covers one specific procedure or topic in detail. Each module contains:

  • an online simulation (available in Learn and Test modes)
  • descriptive text, which explains exactly how to perform that particular procedure including key terms and hyperlinks to references
  • 2D images and a 3D model of applied anatomy for that particular topic
  • a step by step video demonstration by an expert
  • a quiz
  • a personal logbook that keeps track of all the modules the learner has studied and how long
