In this clip, we can see the right atrium collapsing, but is it indicative of tamponade? When does it seem to occur during the cardiac cycle? Does the amount of effusion affect your assessment?

]]> drdavemd What on earth is this LV apical mass? 1 of 2 http://www.echojournal.org/video/77/What-on-earth-is-this-LV-apical-mass-1-of-2

A man in his 40s presents with an new onset heart failure, severe HTN (SBP ~240) and this mass in his LV. What could it be? Is it thrombus?

This parasternal long axis TTE clip shows a bizarre calcification on the atrial/posterior aspect of the mitral valve. Does the central clearing indicate that this is an old abscess or is it just a run-of-the-mill calcification?

Accessory mitral valve tissue is a rare anomaly of embryologic development of the endocardial cushion and may cause substantial and progressive obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract.

]]> halil Unknown left atrial/mitral valve object http://www.echojournal.org/video/32/Unknown-left-atrialmitral-valve-object

If you look carefully at the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve, on the atrial side, you will see a small vegetation. The patient has no signs or symptoms of infection, does this represent endocarditis?

The patients rhythm can make echo interpretation challenging. In this clip the Hr is quite fast and irregular due to atrial fibrillation.

This apical TTE clip demonstrates the appearance of a patient with a severe dilated LV cardiomyopathy that has resulted in distortion of the mitral valve, severe prolapse, and regurgitant flow.

]]> drdavemd Aortic dissection in parasternal long axis TTE http://www.echojournal.org/video/278/Aortic-dissection-in-parasternal-long-axis-TTE

Frequently, the descending aorta can be seen just behind the left atrium in the parasternal long axis view on TTE. In this case, a subtle finding is a serious one that must be detected. The linear echodensity across the aorta is an acute dissection of the aorta.

This loop is created with the transducer at the apex of the heart and directed towards the patients right shoulder showing the four chambers of the heart. The left ventricle is seen on the right side of the image and the endocardium can be easily seen thickening indicating normal left ventricular function.

This patient suffered a subdural hematoma which was evacuated surgically. he then suffered nonsustained ventricular tachycardia, developed inferior ST segment depression and had these wall motion abnormalities. How would you manage this? Would you anticoagulate for MI? Would you proceed with catheterization and stent placement?

]]> drdavemd Severe LVH with cavity obliteration and 90mm gradient 1 of 2 http://www.echojournal.org/video/61/Severe-LVH-with-cavity-obliteration-and-90mm-gradient-1-of-2

This patient has severe LVH, cavity obliteration, and an estimated gradient from the LV to the Ao of 90 with continuous wave doppler. On cath his intraventricular pressure had a 20mm gradient as well. He does not have isolated septal hypertrophy, are there any invasive management options?
