Human Deep Hypothermic Cooling versus Animal Hibernation: Echocardiographic Insights
October 27, 2022 | 5:00 – 6:00 PM ET
The cardiovascular changes that occur during deep anesthesia in people may be mirrored in animals that hibernate: hypothermia, bradycardia, etc. In one context, these changes occur in a medical environment whereas in the other, they are a part of normal life. This session proposes that knowledge can be gained by pairing the perspectives of a human cardiothoracic anesthesiologist, Dr. Burkhard Mackensen, and a veterinary cardiologist with expertise in hibernating bears, Dr. Lynne Nelson. This is the first webinar offered by the ASE Veterinary Specialty Interest Group.
Moderator
- Etienne Côté DVM, DACVIM (Cardiology, SAIM), FACC, FCAHS
Speakers
- G. Burkhard Mackensen, MD, PhD, FASE
- O. Lynne Nelson, DVM, MS, DACVIM (Cardiology, SAIM)
Learning Objectives
- Better understand selected cardiovascular aspects of deep hypothermic anesthesia in humans, including echocardiographic aspects
- Better understand selected cardiovascular aspects of hibernation in large mammals, including echocardiographic aspects
- Gain additional insights into human cardiovascular physiology through understanding the changes that occur during hibernation, and into veterinary cardiovascular physiology through understanding the changes that occur during human deep hypothermic anesthesia

Assessment of Diastolic Function in Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease
November 17, 2022 | 8:00 – 9:30 PM ET
This webinar will consist of two didactic lectures followed by debate on assessment of diastolic function in pediatric population. The webinar will highlight the need for accurate assessment of diastolic dysfunction in patients with congenital heart disease as well as children with acquired heart disease while acknowledging the lack of validation in children of parameters used in assessment of diastolic dysfunction in pediatrics.
Speakers
- Mihn Nguyen, MD, Assistant Professor, Texas Children’s Hospital, Baylor College of Medicine
- Keri Shafer, MD, Department of Cardiology, Boston Children’s Hospital & Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School
- Andreea Dragulescu, MD, Professor of Pediatrics, The Hospital for Sick Children, University of Toronto
- Piers Barker, MD, FASE, Professor of Pediatrics and Obstetrics and Gynecology, Duke University Medical Center
Learning Objectives
- Understand the measures routinely used to assess diastolic dysfunction.
- Understand the comprehensive assessment of diastolic dysfunction in adult congenital heart disease.
- Recognize the limitations to assessment of diastolic dysfunction in pediatric population.
