Libman-Sacks endocarditis is a rare cardiac manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus.
This is the case of a patient w/ poorly controlled SLE who presented w/ acute decompensated HF due to severe MR from LSE and concomitant constrictive pericarditis. bit.ly/4dQ7thK

Pulmonary vein Doppler tracks LA–LV hemodynamics beat-to-beat:
•S wave → LA relaxation + annular descent (systolic suction)
•D wave → LV filling (mirrors mitral E)
•Ar wave → atrial contraction (retrograde)
Blunted S, dominant D, ↑Ar? → elevated LA pressure & reduced compliance.
Simple waveform. High-yield physiology. 🫀

To get the coronary sinus (CS) in TEE slowly advance the probe from the mid-esophageal 4Ch view till the MV disappears and instead of it the CS appears #echofirst
By zooming in on the image the Thebesian valve can be occasionally seen

Cardiac Amyloidosis Diagnosis
Cardiac amyloidosis is a restrictive cardiomyopathy caused by extracellular deposition of misfolded amyloid proteins in the myocardium, leading to stiffening and heart failure.
Key Diagnostic Steps
1️⃣ Suspect in HFpEF with wall thickening, low voltage ECG, elevated troponin/BNP, or unexplained heart failure.
2️⃣ Screen for monoclonal protein:
🔹Serum-free light chains
🔹Serum & urine immunofixation
3️⃣ Bone scintigraphy (PYP, DPD, HMDP) is useful if no monoclonal protein is found.
4️⃣ Biopsy (fat pad or endomyocardial) with Congo red staining & mass spectrometry if needed.
TTR gene testing helps distinguish wild-type (ATTRwt) vs variant (ATTRv) amyloidosis.

Constrictive pericarditis is a condition where the sac around the heart becomes thick and stiff, making it harder for the heart to fill properly. #Cardiology #ConstrictivePericarditis

Spectral Doppler tracings provide important hemodynamic insights. This book is dedicated to interpretation of spectral Doppler recordings, similar to EKG books focused on EKG interpretation. Examples of some spectral Doppler patterns which may not be widely known:
Notched aortic regurgitation
Interrupted aortic regurgitation
Phantom systole
Double peak LVOT signal
Notched tricuspid regurgitation
Giant L wave
Intermittent systolic flow reversal in hepatic veins
Merged tricuspid regurgitation
