Posterior annular hyperechogenic mass with a hypoechogenic center in a 60-year-old woman with heart failure and LBBB, scheduled for CRT. Could this be a simple annular calcification or something else? #echofirst @alexsfelixecho @iamritu @argulian @alex1708ander @StellEkaterina

#EHJIMP VO₂peak relates closely to heart size in health, but this link is blunted in subclinical diastolic dysfunction—already resembling heart failure. VO₂peak/THV ratio may help distinguish health from overt HF @EHJIMPEiC @JGrapsa @iamritu

#echofirst ✅ Periaortic complication after bioprosthetic MVR & AVR (homograft) ✅ Large mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa pseudoaneurysm (MAIVF-PA) ✅ SAX shows extension of MAIVF) posterior to AV ✅ Probably chronic, since MAIVF-PA wall is thick @DavidWienerMD

17-day-old. IIA type B/VSD/PDA Postoperative JET. ✍️ QRS polarity change after recovery reflects conduction variability, not VT. (Maybe transient bundle branch or fascicular conduction delay) @jeffrey_vinocur @RobertHPass @KaraMotonaga @iamritu @loomba_rohit @AEPCcongenital
