Closing out 🙏 for all comments ✅ Diagnosis: Acute AR, premature MV closure & diastolic MR. Others: fine diastolic fluttering of AML, systolic MR ✅ See⬇️ for more images. 1st clip shows AV veg ✅ 2nd image: MR on color- easy to confuse timing of MR with color only & cursory

#echofirst 🫀TTE is highly operator dependent 🫀A shoutout to sonographers who employ creative scanning techniques & show complex physiology like ⬇️ 🫀What is this physiology (lots of fans of this out there, I know)? What is impressive here? @argulian @EchoSoliman

💫 Time to Retire the term “Against Medical Advice (AMA) Discharge”? Thoughtful commentary by Kleinman et al in Ann Intern Med ⬇️ 💫 Preferred term “Before Medically Advised” (BMA) 💫 Less stigmatizing, accounts for clinician attitudes and system policies besides patient 💫 🧵⬇️

🫀Value of cardiac imaging at play ⬇️ 🫀MVP, P2 flail- obvious in 4 chamber view. But billowing of both leaflets (Barlows) more obvious in 3D TrueView and transillumination 🫀Transillumination shows extent of ruptured chordae @argulian @iamritu @purviparwani @DocStrom

#echofirst 💜 Simple tip for pericardial effusion echo. Often timing of RV diastolic collapse is ambiguous. Obtaining m-mode through RV with either MV or AV included helps confirm timing of RV wall collapse 💜 End of T wave could be used if they are not flat @Deya_AlkhatibMD
