What do you think this is based on the first image only? My straight answer was myxoma... 👀
Now take a look at the second video and tell me... Do you still think is a myxoma? 😵💫
The only tip we have: prostate cancer patient.
Identification of diastolic flow reversal in the descending aorta with echocardiography helps to confirm the presence of significant aortic regurgitation and can serve as an alternative method of assessment when visualization of the left ventricular outflow tract is impaired.
Hello guys! Now that we are a BIG echo family, I think is time for all of you to know me! ... 🖤. My name is Lorena and I'm from Venezuela, currently living in the UK and I'm a cardiac and respiratory physiologist. WHAT ABOUT YOU?!
An atrial septal aneurysm is a well recognized and localized saccular deformity of the atrial septum that bulges into the right or left atrium with uncertain clinical significance.
Diagnosis can be established using transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography.
Coronary artery anomalies (CAA) are the second most common cause of exercise-related deaths in competitive athletes accounting for 17%1, with SCD the presentation in half of these cases.
The true prevalence is unknown with data from retrospective angiographic or autopsy studies
Transesophageal guided cardioversion, just checking the left atrial appendage before! ... Based on this image, would you shock?.
36 years old male patient in fast AF.

35 years old female patient with Marfan's syndrome... The question is: do you thinks this patient has Mitral annular Disjunction (MAD)?

1. Aortic annulus: between hinge points of valve leaflets.
2. Sinus of Valsalva: maximum diameter of "bulb".
3. Sinotubular junction: where the sinus meets the tubular aorta.
4. Ascending aorta: above sinotubular junction, sometimes several measurements are possible
Mural thrombi are most commonly seen between six and 10 days following an acute myocardial infarction (MI). They occur at the left ventricular apex and are more common following an anterior wall infarction, since anterior MIs involve more of the apex.
23 years old male patient admitted with drug overdose + positive blood cultures for Staph aureus + new murmur on auscultation.
Echocardiogram was requested to assess cardiac valves and possible infective endocarditis.
72 years old male patient admitted with syncope and systolic murmur on auscultation. Any evidence of aortic stenosis?
Echocardiogram showed basal septal bulge with evidence of SAM. Peak gradient at the LVOT was 113mmHG!

When pulmonary pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance are high the peak will occur earlier. This can be quantified using the pulmonary velocity acceleration time (PVAT). It is the interval between the onset of flow and peak flow. The normal PVAT is > 130 msec.
