🔎We studied 2,452 patients across centers to assess mPAP/CO slope during CPETecho: ✔️ >3.5 mmHg/L/min = 3–4× ↑ risk of death/HF hospitalization ✔️ Adds value beyond HFpEF scores ✔️ Consistently reproducible “To assess exertional breathlessness, exert the breathless.”

📢 New paper out in @JournalASEcho on #CPETecho in #CHD, led by @AleksCieplucha ✅ CPETecho with PVP is feasible in Fontan patients 👉 A steeper PVP/CO slope is associated with worse clinical status, including lower exercise capacity. 📎 https://t.co/bRlII4Eo9h

In 1958, this man’s heart kept stopping—20 times a day. Doctors had no solution. Then his wife demanded an experimental surgery that had only been tested on dogs. What happened next changed medicine forever. 🧵

From classical parasternal PLAX to right parasternal view: simply cross the sternum, staying in the same imaging plane. This maneuver optimizes Doppler alignment for AS assessment. A small move, big impact! 🫀✨ #EchoTips #Cardiology
