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.

Serial echocardiographic assessments are common in clinical cardiology, e.g., for timing of intervention in mitral and aortic regurgitation. When following patients with serial echocardiograms, each new measur.

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. Tracing in the lower part is tissue Doppler imaging from the medial mitral annulus.

Blunt cardiac injury my result in : 1) Acute myocardial rupture with tamponade 2) Valve rupture (tricuspid, aortic, mitral) 3) Coronary thrombosis or dissection (and thus Acute MI) from direct coronary blunt injury 4) Dysrhythmias of all kinds. In the ED, ultrasound showed hemopericardium with tamponade.

He had diffuse crackles on exam and B-lines on chest ultrasound, and chest x-ray also confirmed pulmonary edema. Of course, papillary muscle rupture and mitral regurgitation should be on the differential here, as in this case , but it is not very likely when the BP is so high. Blood pressure was 215/124 and HR 115 (on metoprolol).

Here are a couple shots with strain, or "speckle tracking" on ED Echo: To, me these look like anterior wall motion abnormality, but I showed them to one of our ultrasound fellows who is very interested in this. If it were me, I would get values at the level of the mitral valve, papillary muscles, and apex (all in PSS axis).
