The work builds upon research published last year showing that an AI program can detect disease in the hearts mitral valve by analyzing ultrasound images of the heart. By applying AI to echocardiograms, we can help clinicians more easily detect the signs of heart valve disease so that patients get the care they need as soon as possible.

Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA) has approved DEFINITY (Perflutren Lipid Microsphere) as an ultrasound enhancing agent for use in pediatric patients with suboptimal echocardiograms, including those who have undergone heart transplant, or have Kawasaki disease or a congenital cardiovascular anomaly. Lantheus announced that the U.S.

Two thirds of MINOCA cases are due to atherosclerotic causes One way to prove the diagnosis in this case would have been with intravascular imaging such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) or intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). His echocardiogram showed normal wall motion. Fortunately, that is exactly what happened.

This case was provided by Spencer Schwartz, an outstanding paramedic at Hennepin EMS who is on Hennepin EMS's specialized "P3" team, a team that receives extra training in advanced procedures such as RSI, thoracostomy, vasopressors, and prehospital ultrasound. This entire case is not consistent with takotsubo. It can only be seen by IVUS.

In August 2021, the CDC began a study to follow-up cases of myocarditis in the age group at highest risk for myocarditis after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. I have to make the obligatory post-script here that I oversaw the administration of hundreds of mrna vaccines starting in March of 2021 in my cardiology clinic.
