Dr. Mike Picard, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and director of clinical echocardiography at Massachusetts General Hospital, talks with Piedmont cardiologist Dr. Randy Martin about training residents in a simulation lab and how colleagues at his hospital are using echocardiography. Their conversation at Piedmont Heart’s 3-D Echo 360 conference in Atlanta also covers how best to measure LV function and why RV function may no longer be the Achilles’ heel of echocardiography.
