What is athlete’s heart?

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Enlargement of the left ventricular cavity, increased wall thickness and increased trabeculations in athlete’s heart will have to be differentiated from conditions like dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and isolated left ventricular non-compaction.

Dip and plateau pattern of ventricular pressure tracing in constrictive pericarditis

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

It is mentioned that square root sign can also occur in right right ventricular cardiomyopathy and severe bradycardia [1]. Reference Doshi S, Ramakrishnan S, Gupta SK.

Assessment of LV Diastolic Function by Echo in SR and AF

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

A triphasic left ventricular filling pattern with an additional mid diastolic wave, called T wave by some authors and L wave by others, can occur in situations of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, especially in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Another video on this channel describes triphasic mitral flow in more detail.
