Case: Wall motion abnormality in an inferior infarct

In this short clip, we discuss the adaptive mechanisms of the right heart after pulmonary embolism, when some part of the vascular bed is still obstructed.

It is discussed that speckle tracking allows us to predict certain outcomes and thus make better decisions in our clinical routine. In this clip, our experts discuss the implications for mitral regurgitation.

In this clip Prof. Thomas Binder, MD presents a case with an unusual pattern in the pulse-wave Doppler and explains why we see it.

This is a case of wall motion abnormalities after a right heart infarct, examined with several different modalities, from TAPSE to cardiac MRI and strain.

Finding vegetations in 2D echocardiography can be quite difficult, so this is a field in which we like using 3D echocardiography as an addition - let Prof. Thomas Binder, MD show you how.
