Very excited about publication by Elsevier of my textbook “High Quality Transesophageal Echocardiography” teaching details on how to do the procedure, and tips for an effective, optimized examination. #HighQualityTEE #MindfulEcho #echofirst #echotwitter

@DavidLBrownMD I am not a proponent of calcium screening, but it seems that there are two directions for use: Advising a statin for someone with otherwise low risk but high CAC, or not giving a statin to someone with otherwise high risk but low CAC. I wonder which direction this study leans?

@Allam93 Significant MR is the answer. The high gradient is ONLY in late systole.

@DavidTLinker Two hypotheses: 1/ Mitral regurgitation 2/ Underlying constrictive pericarditis, with doppler flow recorded during expiration.

@Deya_AlkhatibMD Very good! Shows that the high pressure gradient is ONLY during late systole => Significant MR.

@VerwerftJan Bingo. Late increase of velocity shows that there is a late increase in LA pressure which can only be due to significant MR.

Looks like severe tricuspid regurgitation, with systolic flow reversal into hepatic veins. The flow starts before the QRS, just after the P wave. This is due to the atrial kick. RV dysfunction and elevated filling pressure. Only mild to moderate tricuspid regurgitation.
