🔻Heterotaxy = „different (abnormal) arrangement“ 🔻Isomerism = abnormal „bilateral sidedness“ 👉left isomerism ~ interrupted IVC 👉right isomerism ~ Ivemark syndrome ⚠️Right isomerism carries poorer prognosis @loomba_rohit doi.org/10.3390/jcdd50…

Interesting coincidence #echofirst 🫀two patients with identical findings (papillary fibroelastoma) and identical clinic (rhythm disturbances) 🫀visible 🅰️ & discrete 🅱️ form 🫀In both cases we went for surgical removal (MIC-approach)
🫀 Patient referred to TEE pre cardioversion due to AFib. Aortic papillary fibroelastoma caught in the act: Incidental yet significant—these rare tumors may silently set the stage for embolic events. Would you shock it? Check how close to LM…

A patient with shortness of breath. A zoomed parasternal long axis view is shown. What are the structures and abnormalities seen on this limited view?
Why not use RVEF by #3DEcho or #whyCMR to avoid all issues related to angle-dependence of #TAPSE? Do we really need more studies to show that we need robust and reproducible measures of RV function, and that TAPSE is not one of them? @lpbadano @ElenaSurkova9 @JoaoLCavalcante

What’s happening here? Assume you have no other info. True view highlights such pathology well. #echofirst @WvuCvFellows @CASivaram1 @argulian @iamritu @NMerke

Many congratulations to Dr @AVamvakidou on passing her PhD viva (subject to minor corrections, of course 😄)! A pleasure to conduct her viva together with the inimitable @ProfDFrancis An enjoyable 3hrs for us, maybe less so for Anastasia! 😆
