(true case of) LV non-compaction
💗to announce we have just received an $8.7 Million NIH grant to study arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse using cardiac MRI! We are recruiting for research scholars interested in joining our group to help us better understand this condition. @SCMRorg @ASE360 @NIHFunding
Highly recommended video lecture on mitral apparatus anatomy and function.
Ever wonder what the human heart and the mantis shrimp have in common? Hyperbolic paraboloids. Learn more about it here: youtube.com/watch?v=az0IUX…
Well-child visits can help us tackle fourth trimester barriers to care. Time for a collaborative approach! @AmerAcadPeds @acog @MySMFM @UTHealthObGyn @preeclampsia @TheObGProject
The quality improvement study found that well-child visits may be an opportunity to improve detection of maternal postpartum hypertensive disorders that require readmission. ja.ma/3xiDxrD @farah_amro

[Puffer fish heart] Large pericardial effusion + complete AV block ➡️Long enough diastolic time to fill the chambers and resist high intrapericardial pressures.
Cardiac tamponade —> Electrical alternans
The mitral valve (anterior leaflet) is designed to direct blood flow towards a smooth sliding path which begins at the basal posterior wall and ends at the LVOT—thereby minimizing LV energy expenditure during ejection. Cheers🍷
