EXAM COVERAGE - Pediatric Echocardiography (Echo) Board
The Pediatric Echo Board Exam assesses knowledge and skills in
pediatric echocardiography, including cardiac anatomy, physiology,
and congenital or acquired heart defects in neonates, infants, and
children. The exam covers image acquisition, Doppler, color flow
mapping, M-mode, and spectral Doppler, as well as patient
preparation, sedation, and safety. Candidates must understand
hemodynamics, ECG correlation, measurement standards, and
reporting, applying pathophysiology and clinical judgment to ensure
accurate diagnosis and optimal care in pediatric patients.
