HeartWorks pathology models for both TTE and TEE imaging have been created to facilitate the echocardiographic evaluation of patients with structural and hemodynamic disturbances of the heart and lungs.
This module includes:
This model demonstrates the anatomical and hemodynamic features of a type A aortic dissection. Entry and exit points are visible, as well as a mobile intimal flap.
A secundium atrial septal defect is represented in this pathological model with corresponding right heart volume overload. Doppler analysis allows assessment of both the direction and magnitude of the shunt.
Flow velocity has been added to the existing mitral regurgitation model (HeartWoks Module 2). Spectral and colour flow Doppler demonstrate characteristic appearances of an eccentric jet, PISA and altered pulmonary venous flow profiles.
HeartWorks offers a range of simulators for transthoracic (TTE), Transesophageal (TEE) echocardiography and lung ultrasound.
Our Support Plans give you access to new pathological model releases, Doppler imaging and measurement tool enhancements, as well as anatomical and software updates.

Echocardiography Simulation – A Powerful Educational Tool
Physician use of echocardiography in intensive care, anesthesiology, acute and emergency medicine is becoming more widespread and is recognized to be one of the key development areas for the upcoming generation of clinicians.
Those with the ambition to educate trainees to gain this competence are trying to work out how to achieve this within a time-limited and constantly expanding medical curriculum. The manpower, expense and time required for supervision and training is considerable. Echocardiography simulation as a means to accelerate and enhance traditional clinical teaching is, therefore, an appealing prospect…
