Your AI vendor isn't signing the report.
You are. And that's the problem.

In our newest episode on ✨Contrast & Clarity✨, we sat down with Ken Davis (Senior Counsel, @KattenLaw) to talk AI + liability + contracts + what rads must know before implementation.

3d mpr seems to help get to good "biplane" views when the standard tee views are poor or the heart is off axis. Anyone agree?

❤️🧲 Stress CMR helps decode elevated troponin in ED chest pain—safe, fast, fewer admissions, new diagnoses, zero events at 90 days.

🆕 ACC Issues Guidance For Managing CV Risks Associated With Cancer Treatments

With modern cancer therapeutics changing the landscape of cancer treatment, the need to address CV treatment-related complications is important.

#EHJCVI🫀The GLIDE Score predicts procedural success in transcatheter tricuspid valve annuloplasty 🔍 Performance improves after incorporating anteroseptal and bicommisural annular diameters, achieving AUC = 0.84, supporting better patient selection 👉doi.org/10.1093/ehjc... #MedSky

#EHJCVI 🫀A novel approach to PISA correction improves quantitative TR assessment. By adjusting for flow, leaflet angle, and regurgitant orifice shape, this method reduces EROA underestimation and shows strong agreement with established techniques 👉 doi.org/10.1093/ehjc... #MedSky

LA reservoir strain (LARS) is NOT a measure of atrial compliance (distensibility) as atrial distension is due to LV contraction, not pressure, hence the proxy for LA pressure / LARS is NOT a measure of LA stiffness.

#EHJCVI🫀 3D RegFr sharpens TR assessment, reflecting the true hemodynamic burden by “normalizing” for lower right-sided pressures, loading conditions, and RV size/function. Updated corrected PISA refine grading, with RegFr ≥27% marking increased risk 👉 doi.org/10.1093/ehjc... #MedSky #Echofirst

🧠 Answer: ✅ Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) — when paradoxical embolism is suspected without a PFO, consider extracardiac right-to-left shunts; PAVF is rare but crucial to recognize as a potential source of left-sided string-like thrombus. Read more 👉 doi.org/10.1093/ehjc...

Myocardial Ischemic Syndromes: A New Nomenclature to Harmonize Evolving International Clinical Practice Guidelines | Circulation Since the 1960s, cardiologists have adopted several binary classification systems for acute myocardial infarction (MI) that facilitated improved patient management. Conversely, for chronic stable mani...

I still use the old, albeit more established terms like Chronic Coronary Syndrome - Chronic Stable Angina Pectoris, but my Echo Cardiologist mentor from medical school advised me to slowly start adopting the newer, more harmonizing, terminologies

CCTA outperforms TEE after LAAO, new meta-analysis confirms Researchers reviewed data from more than 1,300 patients who underwent both CCTA and TEE after undergoing LAAO. The two modalities were comparable in many ways, but cardiac CT was linked to a few key b...

A new meta-analysis confirms that CCTA is more effective than TEE at detecting residual leaks after LAAO. With ⬆️ detection rates, ⬇️ risks & less operator dependence, CCTA is emerging as the preferred post-LAAO imaging tool—supporting 2023 SCAI/HRS recs.

I share your concern! I understand the drive to predict la pressure from echo but this paper seems more relevant to teaching physiology that deriving actionable clinical results. Getting invasive la pressure is relatively fast and safe these days via radial artery access

Have you ever wondered whether your patient with CAD and cardiomyopathy truly has ischemic cardiomyopathy, or whether the CAD is a “bystander”?
