I would like to invite everyone to join me for this webinar presentation discussing “Mechanical complications from myocardial infarctions”. I will cover numerous interesting cases utilizing 3D and other echographic techniques to assess these patients. https://t.co/2sTISSrEHd
@VLSorrellImages@ASE360@CASEfromASE As a Sonographer who works in a busy echo lab too much emphasis is placed on quantity. This will always be a struggle because quality conflicts with quantity because quality takes time.
I am happy to announce that I will be giving a presentation covering Mitral Regurgitation. This webinar will be available to all IAME members for a CME. Click the link below to get details on how to register and become a member. https://t.co/T2RwrSLLSb #echofirst
In honor of Valve Disease Day, here’s a mitral valve with Type II dysfunction. Text book example of Barlow’s syndrome. Bileaflet prolapse with thick and bulky leaflets billowing into the left atrium during systole. #echofirst
Here’s one of my favorite cases edited to show the under appreciated value of m-mode in a patient with (PLSV). You can see exactly when the bubbles enter the cs before entering the RV. This showcases m-modes superior temporal resolution. #echofirst
