Case: STE in HFpPF patient

The apical 4-chamber view is one of the most commonly performed views in point of care ultrasound. Learn here how to get this view and what you can see in it.

In this video, you can see 3 cases of patients with very low global longitudinal strain initially. During the course of treatment, we performed additional speckle tracking studies, and you can see how strain increases each time, illustrating the values of this technology in following patients.

Fibrosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an important finding that might save the patient from sudden cardiac death, so the earlier we can recognise it, the better. Speckle tracking can point us in the right direction here, and in this video, you will learn how.

This clip is about assessing VSDs. You will learn where to look for them, how they look, and why flow velocity plays a role.

Following up patients with prosthetic valves is a major application of echocardiography. Especially 3D echocardiography allows for a very detailed view of the valve's movement, and of flow next to the valve.
