Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance for its first-of-a-kind, AI-powered AISAP CARDIO point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) software platform. We know that structural heart disease and heart failure are the leading causes of hospitalization and morbidity in the U.S.

Smith comment: This patient did not have a bedside ultrasound. Had one been done, it would have shown a feature that is apparent on this ultrasound (however, this patient's LV function would not be as good as in this clip): This is recorded with the LV on the right. Look at the aortic outflow tract. What should be done?

During echocardiography, a transducer transmits the ultrasound beam towards the heart. The image shown here is an animated 2 dimensional echocardiogram. This one is an older mode known as time-motion mode or M-Mode echocardiogram. Hence a basic knowledge is needed for all physicians and paramedics.

The next morning the patient went for his routine echocardiogram, where the operator noticed a dilated aortic root at 5.47 cm with severe aortic insufficiency. The team was notified and they ordered a stat aortagram which showed type A aortic dissection from the aortic valve to the iliacs. Pericarditis?

I suspect pulmonary edema, but we are not given information on presence of B-lines on bedside ultrasound, or CXR findings. Smith : "decompensation" of aortic stenosis might have initiated this entire cascade. --increasing stenosis, ischemia, volume changes, increased blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, etc.)
