#echofirst

You are called in from home ☎️ on a weekend for a 60 yo patient with DCMP and LCO who is admitted from external hospital for urgent Impella support. The patient is not intubated. In the OR you perform preop TTE and see this. Would you proceed with Impella? #echofirst

Are we on the same page #echofirst ? How would you report this? Two patients, one pediatric 👶and one adult 👩, with remarkably similar echo findings (seen on TTE & TEE). LV myocardial hypertrophy and LV wall thickening are closely related, but they are not exactly the same.

📢Excited to announce EchoCLIP, or vision-language foundation #AI model for #echofirst interpretation. Using over 1,000,000 cardiac ultrasound videos paired with expert cardiologist interpretations, we enable #echofirst semantic search and zero-shot predictions. EchoCLIP can zero-shot assess LVEF (MAE 7.1% on external validation), identify ICD, TAVR, MitraClip, and more! 1/🧵

Coronary artery injury is not common but a possible complication in patients undergoing surgery for valve heart disease ⚠️ #echofirst ➡️ following MV surgery - 👀 postero-lateral LV wall (possible RCX lesion) ➡️ following AV surgery- 👀 inferior LV wall (possible RCA lesion)
