Atrial fibrillation with RVR, referred for TEE cardioversion, no LAA clot, shock or no shock. Apical 4 chamber is shown here. Possible apical variant takotsubo as well @WvuCvFellows @argulian @CASivaram1 @alexsfelixecho @iamritu #echofirst
3D TEE TV shown from atrial aspect. Pt with bacteremia and DDD ICD. 3 D helps with localization of pathology - leads involved, TV leaflet involvement @WvuCvFellows @dipesh_ludhwani @CASivaram1 @iamritu @argulian
