Case: STE in a patient with Ischemic CMP

The anatomy of the right ventricle is a little different from the left one - in this short clip, Prof. Thomas Binder, MD points out the most important anatomical features of the "forgotten chamber".

In this case, we see the typical strain pattern of apical sparing, which usually points to a storage disease. But in this patient, the underlying pathology is something totally different - showing us that strain patterns are very important, but still just a part of the puzzle.

In this clip Prof. Thomas Binder, MD outlines the key findings in mitral stenosis, allowing you to identify the disease using echocardiography.

In this video, we show you step by step how you can measure left atrial strain, even if your machine does not have the program for atrial speckle tracking.

In this case study, Martin Altersberger, MD presents a 74-year-old male patient with back pain, dyspnea and fatigue, and how point of care ultrasound did not only help in finding the cause of the symptoms, but also in finding additional pathologies.
