Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis that is predominantly a clinical diagnosis.

We present a case in which a 5-month-old patient developed prominent enlargement of coronary arteries with associated giant aneurysms. Read our CASE report: bit.ly/4gDBb8j

“Echocardiography is the ideal place to use AI,” comments
David Ouyang. At #AHA24, two new studies added further evidence in support of AI’s potential to transform the echocardiology landscape. For all the details on the study presentations: tctmd.com/news/ai-pois... @rohankhera.bsky.social
AI Poised to Change the Landscape of Echocardiography
Two studies presented at AHA show the capacity of AI to improve sonographer accuracy, consistency, and workflow.

That bug has done a lot of damage to this nice little valve...

Time for an #echofirst quiz:

How many cusps does this aortic valve have?

(Answer and specimen will follow...)

How would you expect hepatic vein doppler to look here? #echofirst #pocus

Wonder what echofirst community would think about this Echo in Adult with Congenital Heart Disease? #Echofirst #Cardiosky #Echosky

Wow, finally some new tools to estimate filling pressures!

#echofirst
Our latest work, led by Thomas Lindow, on estimating wedge pressure by #EchoFirst. #Cardiosky

LA volume is not necessarily needed. LA inflow (PVs, PVd) and outflow (E) velocities, which are proportional to pressure gradients, perform just as well.

A multi-institutional collaborative effort 🇦🇺🇸🇪
#EHJIMP 🔍 Can we estimate PAWP with #echofirst without including LAV? 📈 ePAWP-NOLA, derived from E, S & D waves, shows strong agreement with PAWP 🏆 Outperforms ASE/EACVI DD algorithm💥 Correlates with RV afterload, LVAD, and CV death 📖 Read more doi.org/10.1093/ehji... #CardioSky @jgrapsa.bsky.social

Great paper on RA flow patterns with relevance for examinations for PFO

ICU Hemodynamic Secrets:

Did you ever manage a patient where you were convinced that there was a patent foramen ovale (eg in a case of cryptogenic shock or unexplained hypoxemia) but the bubble study did not reveal a R-to-L shunt?

I came across this study 👇

The Bernoulli equation (simplified to 4 * V squared) is used in every echo to estimate pressure gradients from velocities. One source of error is widely ignored I belive. #echofirst #pocus #emimcc
