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.

He had been seen several weeks ago at an outside hospital for a similar issue and had been discharged home, presumably after unremarkable workup. After rethinking the case, he remained concerned about ACS and subsequently performed a point-of-care ultrasound in order to evaluate for regional wall motion abnormality. Do NOT use them.

Ultrasound – this is easily available, very portable and usually a very low risk investigation. All patients should have a 12 lead ECG and be put on a 24 hour heart monitor whilst in hospital. In terms of imaging, we usually start off with echocardiography (ultrasound assessment of the heart).

So, of the 989 cases of myocarditis that were identified via VAERS, there is information on hospitalization status for 519 of them. We know that 484 (93%) of them were hospitalized. One of these patients ended up requiring massive support using something called ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation).

Echocardiography – We can use ultrasound to visualize the heart and look at how well it pumps. With this test, an echocardiogram is done at rest to study the pumping ability of the heart. As the heart becomes more muscular, it becomes stiffer and therefore does not fill with as much blood and therefore pumps less blood out.

See this case: what do you think the echocardiogram shows in this case? However, STE-aVR with multilead ST depression was associated with 31% in-hospital mortality compared with only 6.2% Widespread ST-depression with reciprocal aVR ST-elevation can be cause by: Heart rate related: tachyarrhythmia (e.g.,

For example, by integrating Ventripoint’s AI-powered heart-scanning technology, which turns ultrasound images of the heart into MRI-quality heart images, InView provides pediatric cardiologists with access to MRI-quality heart images at a fraction of the cost and time needed for traditional MRIs. As well, by incorporating Us2.ai’s

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. These findings are diagnostic of an apical OMI as a result of LAD Occlusion.

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. In fact, bedside ultrasound might even find severe aortic stenosis.
