It is important to note that not all thick-walled ventricles are the same and that the assessment of them must be done correctly each time. Adding in strain imaging is not a diagnosis in these cases BUT can be a red flag to assist the clinician on the path to diagnosis 28/32

New from CASE @CASEfromASE:
Learn more about "pericardial decompression syndrome"
doi.org/10.1016/j.case.2024.…
-rare, but deadly
- complication of pericardiocentesis
- authors provide their approach for large effusions of unknown chronicity (esp in pts with PH)

Congratulations @BonitaEcho - a great recognition of your unwavering dedication to elevating and advancing the standards of our profession, and you have profoundly transformed the way we learn and teach echocardiography.
Congratulations Prof @ScaliaGreg for this wonderful recognition today. You have and continue to teach, inspire, encourage and mentor sonographers, including myself.
What a fabulous session to close #PDHeart2024, with echo luminaries. So many learnings from this meeting but two slides struck me to the core:“find ways to keep loving what we do” and build a “culture of learning, not blame”. Thank you all for sharing your passion and knowledge🙏

Data from @NACCHOAustralia showing Indigenous Australians experience higher rates of many conditions, but 55 times the rate of #RHD compared to non-Indigenous Australians 😢 #RHDCongress – at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Has anyone measured DT of pulmonary venous diastolic velocity (DT PVD) and used it for echo assessment of diastolic function? I have never measured, and this parameter is now featured in the new BSE guidelines (yet published) for echo assessment of diastolic function #echofirst
I am absolutely thrilled to have received an invitation from @asasonography to present a 1-day, in-person seminar in Sydney this November. We will delve into various facets of echo with a particular emphasis on strain imaging. Look forward to meeting and engaging with you there!

An incredibly sad, important read 💔
I will be closing down my Twitter in 2 weeks. Meanwhile:

LOVE hearing this little imaging tip has helped others obtain on-axis parasternal views in technically challenging cases.
This week I had a patient w/ Poland Syndrome with underdeveloped L) anterior chest wall who has previously been told he has no diagnostic acoustic windows.
This section of CASE journal is really cool. And their first sonographer sound off “go right to make it right” has been an excellent tip. I’ve now tried it numerous time and it just works!!!

Here’s an example from one of my echo trainees:
