Critical Findings Part 1.
This video talks about cardiac tamponade, left ventricular thrombi, aortic dissections(not in full), and vegetations (endocarditis). Watch full video to catch much needed information for your echocardiography boards.

Performing an echocardiographic examination in a patient with suspected or known cardiovascular disease presenting as an emergency case may be challenging. Key decisions should be made quickly, in a stressful situation, characterized often by difficulties in acquiring good images. Physicians in charge are frequently forced to interpret suboptimal studies, having limited time for consultations with colleagues. Under these circumstances, interpretation errors or missing critical abnormalities are likely to occur more often and they might seriously affect patient’s management
and outcome.

From the ethical point of view, emergency echocardiography should be performed by anyone who knows how to get valuable information from it and use it in the decision-making process.
‘Know how’ includes: ability to obtain adequate images (imaging technique) and ability to interpret them in the specific clinical context (reading/interpretation). Improperly acquired and/or
poor-quality images may result in inaccurate reading, with misleading and potentially dangerous conclusions.

Cardiologists are not the only medical professionals who are taking care of patients presenting with cardiovascular emergencies. In the real world, emergency cardiac diagnostics is also performed
by properly trained sonographers who play a crucial role in life-saving information by using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in emergency cases.
