Unexpected Vascular Ultrasound Findings Prompting Hemodynamic Management in an Infant in Respiratory Failure

Often, use of point-of-care ultrasound modalities at the patient bedside is dichotomized into diagnostic versus procedural ultrasound. However, as described in this case, it is important to recognize the crossover that can occur in procedural ultrasound and the potential for making diagnostic discov...

Effect of an Ultrasound-First Clinical Decision (CD) Tool in Emergency Department Patients with Suspected Nephrolithiasis: A Randomized Trial

The author concluded that implementation of the US-ﬁrst CDS tool resulted in lower CT use for ED patients with suspected nephrolithiasis, and promoted US use without increasing costs, ED revisits, or additional CT scans performed during ED revisits......

CLINICAL INVESTIGATIONS • Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain in Patients with Moderate Aortic Stenosis

Recent data shows poor long-term survival in patients with moderate aortic stenosis, challenging traditional definitions of AS severity and timing of intervention in these patients. The presence of moderate AS in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF; ...

CLINICAL INVESTIGATIONS • Comparison of Mitral Regurgitant Volume Assessment between Proximal Flow Convergence and Volumetric Methods in Patients with Significant Primary Mitral Regurgitation: An Echocardiographic and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study

Assessment of primary mitral regurgitation (MR) severity is of paramount importance for clinical decision-making to determine the optimal timing of surgical intervention in these patients. Current guidelines recommend determination of mitral regurgitant volume (RVol) as part of the thorough assessme...

RESEARCH • Feasibility and Discriminatory Value of Tissue Motion Annular Displacement in Sepsis-Induced Cardiomyopathy: A Single-Center Retrospective Observational Study

There is no formalized or consensus definition of SICM, yet frequently left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of less than 50% in septic patients is often considered as indicative of SICM. The mortality among septic patients with SICM is 2 ~ 3 times higher than those without SICM. Echocardiograph...

Right Ventricular Postsystolic Strain Curve Morphology before and after Vasodilator Treatment in Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

The authors discussed the current guidelines for diagnostic workup of pulmonary hypertension, which include right heart catheterization to establish diagnosis, a transthoracic echocardiography to rule out left heart disease, a ventilation/perfusion lung scan to exclude chronic thromboembolic pulmona...

ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY AND PULMONARY HYPERTENSION • Echocardiographic Biventricular Coupling Index to Predict Precapillary Pulmonary Hypertension

Right heart catheterization (RHC) remains the gold standard in the diagnostic workup. However, transthoracic echocardiography is currently part of the screening process and is increasingly used in the longitudinal follow-up of patients with PH. Estimated systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) is ...

Since prehospital POCUS is becoming more widely adopted for its diagnostic abilities to aid in decision-making in traumatically injured patients, the authors designed this pilot educational study intervention to train ALS prehospital personnel to use a handheld POCUS to aid in the detection of pneum...

ORIGINAL ARTICLE • Relationship of the Internal Jugular Vein to the Common Carotid Artery: Implications for Ultrasound-Guided Vascular Access

The internal jugular vein (IJV) is a commonly used cannulation site for central venous access as it is easily accessible due to its superficial anatomical position. The traditional landmark-based technique for IJV cannulation depends on it having a lateral position relative to the common carotid art...

PERICARDIAL FAT AND CARDIAC FUNCTION • Association of Pericardial Fat with Cardiac Structure, Function, and Mechanics: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

Among 6,814 participants initially recruited in MESA, the authors included the 3,032 participants who underwent echocardiography at exam 6. At baseline, this cohort was 53% female, with mean age 57 years, and 40% White, 25% Black or African American, 22% Hispanic, and 13% Asian......
