🫀 A few weeks ago I was puzzled by a child : clear holodiastolic flow reversal in the descending aorta… but Nothing matched. 👇 Acute myocarditis can be accompanied by aortitis, increasing aortic stiffness → diastolic flow reversal #PedsCardio

.@BSEcho have launched a new Level 1 library🚀- developed by Jen Gosling, @EchoFoundations, et al, which will support practitioners of emergency echo The first 30 cases are FREE! Find out more: https://t.co/7bKXKHDOEk

JUST OUT on actual ANATOMIC visualization of the 5-type morphological classification of #TricuspidValve anatomy published previously by @hahn_rt et al, now correlated with #Echo #TEE and schematic by @juliendreyfus1 et al. in #JACCIMG @JACCJournals . A MUST-READ and print-out

Fused BAV (RCC - NCC Phenotype) 20-30% #echofirst 👉BAV-associated aortopathy 👉 Flow Jet right posterior to distal arch = this is type 3 tubular/arch aortopathy 👉 To unveil the mechanism of AR 3DE-based 2DE images are decisive (not the 3D image itself)

Nice #Echofirst trick regarding pericardial effusion and concern for possible continued leak 🎨Use echo contrast! If you see it in the pericardial space= continued leak This case is likely due to a recent PPM lead with continued microperf. @EchofirstB #CardioX #cardiology

It is fascinating that an anatomic study has confirmed what echocardiography previously suggested: tricuspid valve is not tricuspid most of the times due to leaflet scalloping, most commonly of the posterior leaflet. https://t.co/Ed4QZqWcFC
