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.
Usual colour Doppler echocardiogram is superimposition of colour Doppler images on a two dimensional echocardiogram. Colour M-Mode is superimposition of colour Doppler images on an M-Mode echocardiogram. Colour Doppler echocardiography receives the ultrasound signals reflected from moving red blood cells in the heart.
1.196 x STE60 in V3 in mm) + (0.059 x computerized QTc) - (0.326 x RA in V4 in mm) Third, one can do an immediate cardiac ultrasound. A bedside ultrasound was done by an emergency physician and simultaneously read by a cardiologist. The patient had a critical LAD stenosis. greater than 23.4 is likely anterior STEMI).
Although he had a normal echocardiogram and stress test a year ago at a different hospital, due to his symptoms and intermediate-high risk probability of coronary artery disease (CAD), the decision was made to proceed with a cardiac catheterization using a trans-radial approach with a horizontal sweep technique.
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. What should be done? Should the cath lab be activated?
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.
The patient was thought to have low likelihood of ACS, and cardiology recommended repeat troponin, urine drug testing, and echocardiogram. Bedside echocardiogram showed hypokinesis of the mid to distal anterior wall and apex. The cardiologist called this 20% stenosis. Initial hscTnI was 10 ng/L (ref. <14).
link] A 62 year old man with a history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and carotid artery stenosis called 911 at 9:30 in the morning with complaint of chest pain. His echocardiogram showed normal wall motion. This is written by Willy Frick, an amazing cardiology fellow in St. Fortunately, that is exactly what happened.
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.
History sounds concerning for ACS (could be critical stenosis, triple vessel), but differential also includes dissection, GI bleed, etc. See this case: what do you think the echocardiogram shows in this case? 2 cases of Aortic Stenosis: Diffuse Subendocardial Ischemia on the ECG. His response: “subendocardial ischemia.
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. They read it as normal. She said: This is a tough one. Regional wall motion abnormality-distal septum and apex. It was stented.
A bedside ultrasound should be done to assess volume and other etiologies of tachycardia, but if no cause of type 2 MI is found, the cath lab should be activated NOW. While awaiting transfer to the cath lab, STAT echocardiogram was performed and showed LVEF 30-35%, as well as anterior, inferior, and apical hypokinesis, and apical thrombus.
They found non-obstructive CAD, with only a 20% stenosis of OM2 and 10% RCA. The next morning the patient went for his routine echocardiogram, where the operator noticed a dilated aortic root at 5.47 Beware a negative Bedside ultrasound. A repeat ECG was performed and cardiology was re-consulted: Roughly unchanged. Pericarditis?
Aortic Dissection, Valvular (especially Aortic Stenosis), Tamponade. Check : [vitals, SOB, Chest Pain, Ultrasound] If the patient has Abdominal Pain, Chest Pain, Dyspnea or Hypoxemia, Headache, Hypotension , then these should be considered the primary chief complaint (not syncope). heart auscultation (aortic stenosis); c.
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. What "initiates" the aortic stenosis cascade? Or I suspect that there is OMI simultaneous with another pathology.
