An 88F comes in short of breath after ortho surgery. Vitals look okay. Cardiac enzymes aren't dramatically up. CT: extensive bilateral PE.
A bedside echo tells a very different story. 🧵
4) In unstable patients, don't wait on CT. If bedside echo + clinical picture both point to PE, that can justify moving straight to thrombolysis or mechanical intervention.
POCUS is only as good as the operator - training and credentialing matter as much as the tech.
Got a message this week from a patient's family member that had cared for.
Honestly, this meant a lot to read. You don't often find out how things landed after a patient leaves the hospital, so hearing it made my week.
Excited to share that my case,
"Subtle presentation of phase 4
conduction block: a precursor to third-degree AV block," has been accepted for presentation at the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2026 in Munich, Germany! 🇩🇪thank you to my co-authors for their collaboration!
Normotensive shock is a tricky call - BP looks fine, but tissue perfusion is already impaired. We wrote this to help clinicians catch it early, before it progresses to overt shock. #cardiology#pulmonology#criticalcare#pulmonaryembolism

🚨 The 2026 AHA/ACC PE guidelines changed how we think about pulmonary embolism.
Not just new treatments — a new clinical framework.
Say goodbye to “massive vs submassive.”
