Elmore, Ahern, @BMLevitan, Satin et al. @universityofky shed light on RRAD, a protein that helps regulate calcium channels in the heart. They find its tail region is crucial for both attaching to the cell membrane and influencing heart function. hubs.la/Q02Gm3H60

Teaching points:
“Not all LA myxomas are LA myxomas”
Or
“Echo readers need to maintain wide differentials”

HF in ACHD needs immediate attention and referral for advanced HF therapies.
High mortality in ACHD patients with heart failure (HR: 6.01 within 1-year post-discharge)
Kidney dysfunction and a history of ≥2 HFHs in the past year were the strongest predictors of 1-year mortality after incident and repeated HFHs, respectively.

#Hydroxychloroquine ≠ benign drug. It can have devastating effect on heart muscle. On the left is normal myocardium. On the right is HcQ-mediated cardiotoxicity with prominent sarcoplasmic vacuolization. #CVPath

For those who are taking care of patients with Covid-19, please think about it twice to order an echo for the troponin leak or cardiac function . Does echo really change your management or just collect more info? Our Sonographers don’t have the proper PPEs to do the scanning...

Thank you @pattypellikka our past @ASE360 president & chair of the stress echo guidelines for joining us #ASEchoJC

One of the great things about #ASEchoJC is gaining imaging tips from the #echofirst experts. Important tips for #Sonographers @GWhalleyPhD @BMLevitan @EngdahlKirsten @AmandaGeilfuss @kgzimmerman @RobChamb87 @AlexBJanjic @KellyThorson9
Optimize color Doppler (spatial distribution of velocities)gain just below speckles
Depends on driving pressure bp/vol, blood cell momentum(⬇️in eccentric jets)
If ⬆️nyquist limit will underestimate jet area/width ,when you change nyquist limit you change wall filter #ASEchoJC
