Understanding RA/CVP Waveforms Made Easy This diagram breaks down the different waves and descents seen in right atrial (RA) or central venous pressure (CVP) tracings and links them to what’s happening in the heart. Here’s what you’ll learn: 1️⃣ ‘a’ wave: caused by right atrial

RV–PA coupling 🫀👇 - Definition: RV–PA coupling = balance between 💪 RV contractility (Ees) and 💨 pulmonary arterial afterload (Ea) — key to efficient blood flow. -Optimal zone: ⚖️ Ees/Ea ≈ 1.5–2.0 → maximal energy transfer and adaptive RV performance. - Echo markers: 📊

A detailed overview of the Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) scan, a method used to assess and quantify systemic venous congestion. The VExUS score is determined by evaluating the inferior vena cava (IVC) and the Doppler waveforms of the hepatic, portal, and intrarenal veins.

Annulus Reversus: A Diagnostic Echo Clue Let’s talk about a key Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) finding often seen in constrictive pericarditis: annulus reversus. 🔵 What is Annulus Reversus? Normally, the lateral mitral annulus e′ velocity is higher than the septal e′. But in

Understanding the Cardiac Crux & AVC Defects on 2D Echo The cardiac crux marks the intersection of the atrial & ventricular septa and the AV valve insertions. Normally, the tricuspid valve inserts more apically than the mitral, an essential clue in congenital heart disease. In
