Cardiac hemodynamics

Certainly, echocardiographers should have the most detailed knowledge of this topic. However, all sonographers should have a good understanding of cardiac hemodynamics since it influences blood flow throughout the body.

We all need to know how the heart works :)

Here is a good overview.
