What’s surrounding the heart? 👀

Answer: pericardial effusion.

Subxiphoid view: anechoic fluid around the heart.

Pitfall: effusion ≠ tamponade. Assess RA/RV diastolic collapse, plethoric IVC, respiratory variation, and clinical status.

Gallstone or polyp? 👀

Answer: gallstone.

Key clue: posterior acoustic shadowing. Gallstones are typically mobile and shadowing; polyps are generally wall-adherent, fixed, and nonshadowing.

A gallstone confirms cholelithiasis—not necessarily acute cholecystitis.

What’s moving in the RV? 👀

A4C echo showing a highly mobile structure within the right ventricle, with preserved RV systolic function.

Differential: thrombus/clot-in-transit, tumor, vegetation, or other intracardiac structure.

What would you do next?

What’s surrounding the lung? 👀

Pleural effusion with adjacent compressed (atelectatic) lung.

The diaphragm is the landmark: thoracic-side fluid is pleural, while abdominal-side fluid may represent ascites.

What are you assessing next?

What’s wrong with this LV? 👀

PSAX echo shows interventricular septal flattening with a D-shaped LV. When most prominent in systole, this supports RV pressure overload.

What diagnosis comes to mind first?

Large hypermobile mitral vegetation 👀

After 6 weeks of IV cefazolin for Streptococcus agalactiae endocarditis, follow-up TTE still showed a 2.0 × 0.8 cm vegetation.

What complication concerns you most?

Can you spot the diagnosis? 👀

This apical 4-chamber echo demonstrates McConnell’s sign: RV free wall hypokinesis with relative apical sparing, raising suspicion for acute pulmonary embolism in the appropriate clinical setting.

CT confirmed a large bilateral central PE with right heart strain, and the patient ultimately underwent catheter-based pulmonary embolectomy.

What other echocardiographic findings do you look for when assessing RV strain?

Ultrasound training shouldn’t be limited by access.

Ultrasound Fanatic was built for med students, NPs, PAs, residents, nurses, and clinicians who want to improve faster.
