Here’s a video I made breaking down this incredible Echo from a patient with AFib #FOAMed

Another great and terrifying video, thanks Dr Ghali! Side note- you have a very comforting voice. You could read books or do guided meditations or something like that, you'd be a hit!

I survived multiple unprovoked bilateral pulmonary emboli. I was told some had passed through my heart. It was a very scary experience for sure, and I'm fortunate to have survived. Yes, I'm on blood thinners for life. Thanks for posting this video. It really got my attention!

Nice video- As a former echo tech, this brought back memories. The development of Echocardiography has been a God send for cardiology.

Soooo… what kind of symptoms did this person have that prompted them to visit the ER? Ya know, now that you’ve got me all freaked out lol

Excellent! How did the patient do? The importance of adherence to anticoagulation therapy cannot be over stated💕

Clot?

If what I am seeing is a trampoline, I am ready for medical school. However, I suspect it is no bueno.

I’ve been retired as an ICU nurse since the start of the Pandemic. Glad to see I can still understand this. Horrifying yet still oddly mesmerizing as that “ little “ clot bounces around

Pass the alteplase And the Valium - "I'm nervous being their Dr, they're nervous being my patient." Valium for everyone!

Dad had a-fib. It was well controlled for years by Coumadin, but it led to a small brain bleed. He was taken off of Coumadin, & had a massive stroke 2 years later. Miss him every day. Thanks for the info, Dr. G. Love your content.
