New proposed algorithm for PVR in ToF. Should we forget about the RV volumes completely? https://t.co/RCHUDdkqD2 @DrRachelWald @TorontoACHD

“Lobster Claw sign” on #Echofirst
Generally seen on #ApicalHCM
( clearly too many HCM cases in two days 🤓)

🍩 Blood trapping in the apex leads to its own unique Doppler echocardiographic tracings and curves.

🍩 When blood is trapped by a narrowed neck, it may not emerge at all until diastole starts , when it flows into the body of the LV.

🍩 This is termed paradoxical jet flow and is a sign of a concealed apical chamber

�� “paradoxic” because it courses towards the mitral valve in diastole.

🍩 At the neck of the apical chamber, when obstruction occurs, there is an early systolic inflection and drop in ejection velocity, again caused by the sudden imposition of afterload!

✅#WhyCMR Predictors of Arrhythmic Sudden Cardiac Events (SCE) in Fontan @JACCjournals

✅3,132 Fontan patients, 3.5% SCE over 4 years
✅Low EF and high EDV are associated with SCE along with worse NYHA and PLE. @rahulrathodmd

I believe already reflected in the guidelines, but #BAV #aortopathy risk lower than #TAV, likely due to different pathophysiology. Truly important data to guide surgery! @ShelbyKuttyMD @swatigar @alexvdbruaene @AlexFrogoudaki https://t.co/JNKrV4fPmS

📝✨ Just published: "Thrombocytopenia is Associated with Higher Fontan Pressure and Increased Morbidity post Fontan "

Key findings: Thrombocytopenia is associated with
✅ Elevated Fontan pressure
✅ Increased hospital admission
✅ Worse liver disease

I find HAPVC. Very interesting.
From my echo archives:

A young child presented with slow weight gain and resp infections.

Very abnormal cxr and ecg.
Esp that shadow in the right lung field... What is that?
The ecg showd rvh , rad. Where is the right atrial enlargement?
