AS 🆚 MR 🆚 LVOTO?
Read the ECG. Read the Doppler.
The ECG is part of the echo exam.
AS 🆚 LVOTO 👀 CWform + timing
AS 🆚 MR 👀 CWform + timing

ECG Myth vs. Reality:
❌ MYTH: One P wave for every QRS = sinus rhythm.
✔️ REALITY: Not quite. For sinus rhythm, also look for P waves upright in I, II and aVF and inverted in aVR.
When the clinical picture fits ACS, pay attention to the details.
The transcript highlights two concerning patterns:
aVR elevation > V1
or
aVR + aVL elevation
Pattern + history. Not pattern alone.
Coronary angiography showed severe multivessel coronary artery disease with critical stenoses of the left main, LAD (chronic occlusion), circumflex branch, and right coronary artery.

High-output heart failure associated with arteriovenous fistula remains an underrecognized, albeit well-described, clinical entity. This is a nice case with illustrative images - doi: 10.1016/j.jaccas.2026.107193. PMID: 41770183

Most echocardiography laboratories have adopted the 2016 diastolic guidelines. With the release of the 2025 update, an important question arises:
What are the key conceptual differences between the 2016 and 2025 approaches to diagnosing diastolic dysfunction?
